On one of the forums that I am a member of, someone posted this link<\/a> about \u00a0how to do barefoot running all wrong. It contains some really salient advice about understanding your body, the ambient conditions and the way the two interact!<\/p>\n

I do like running barefoot on concrete – it’s always nice and warm here in California, but I am not at the point where I would run in the cold, nor would I try to race barefoot.<\/p>\n

In a race there’s simply too much else to think about – there, the point isn’t so much to enjoy the sensation, but to achieve some separate goal from that. For me, running barefoot is just one aspect of all of the running that I do. I like to run hard and push myself, but for that I need at least a minimalist shoe. I’ll probably make a new post sometime about all the different types of shoes I’ve tried, including GoSt Barefoots<\/a>, which I have made a video review of here (I apologize for the sound quality – it was my first time and my head cam was banging against my sunglasses!).<\/p>\n
