Weather : 47 degrees, sunny/cloudy. Ran easy to the arboretum. When I arrived I removed my shoes and socks and ran 1 mile barefoot in the grass. Afterward I ran easy and threw in 5 x 100-300M accelerations. My legs feel better today than yesterday, and my energy level is on the upswing. Felt good doing the accelerations, had some nice power and ease in my stride. I can feel a difference in the way I am running just off of 3 very short barefoot running sessions. After putting my shoes back on and resuming shoe running, I can sense my feet landing differently, trying to land mid-foot while avoiding the shoe's heel. The shoe heel is hard to avoid, however, because it is so big. Maybe I should look into getting shoes that have a flat heel. Racing flats are an option, but I am don't know how they would hold up to training miles. It is something to ponder. #165 z.m. - #79 |
