And running feels good again.

Whaouw, went for a classical run this Sunday. Felt very nice. I felt in excellent shape, actually ran 5 minutes faster than Thursday, 58' vs 63. I was listening to the Foo Fighters all along. It was great. I really felt at some point that running was good again, great in fact.
As I already mentioned, I was about to drop running, just because of the structural charges, skeletal trouble. Never really had any major problem, but always felt quite stressed in the bones. So much in fact that at some point, the trouble was worst than the pleasure of running and I was actually thinking about dropping it.
This was one of the reasons behind switching to barefoot, and I have to say that this was a great success. No more trouble at all, which make sense since there is no more shocks directly transmitted to the bones, it is absorbed by the naturally encoded shock absorbance of the feet. And it makes all the difference. An incredible feeling. One of the points of this blog was to transmit my switching experience and help others make the transition. I already know 3 colleagues or friends that have bought 5Fs, and at least that many that are considering it.

Hope it helps.
