Torn calf muscle (M+2)

So, all considered, I do think that I did tore my calf last Sunday. Not much, but enough. I could still feel it on Wednesday, three days after that. But I could still run our classical tour that goes up the hill at a slow pace.
So I do think that you better be careful when switching to barefoot running. I really don't know what happened on Sunday, but it is clear that because of its mechanics, barefoot running puts more pressure on the calves. I didn't have the impression to go too fast. May be it is just the accumulation. Anyway, I could still run, it is better now, and let's see how it goes over the weekend.
Here is a link to the pros and cons of barefoot running.
So, not so easy to switch. But I am still very enthusiastic about it. I'll be more careful in the future, although I don't really know what I have done wrong. Brftjsh suggest just to take it easy and relax.
