Recommendations: 7mm sole, don't go too fast, take your time, on concrete, flat, no hills!
If you don't do that, go below 7mm, go too fast or up-hills, you will get injured.

Frozen toesII

Whaow, it is cold now in Germany. Snowing too. I just went out. Pretty happy about it. -1 Degrees inside the city, so probably -4/-5 outside of it, where I do most of my running. Completely snow covered floor. Was pretty slippery, and combined it with running on the snow-removed street. I had cold toes during the 5 first minutes, but it quickly warms up with the run.
Went for 16km in 76 minutes. I felt great, really great. I really need to insist on the fact that despite the few issues you might have red, I really enjoy running barefoot. But really really much. It is so much nicer than shod. I haven't run with shoes since 2-3 months and really don't have any will to do so. Even today, with frozen snow covered ground, I went out with my 5F's and felt good about it.

It also seems that the superstition is broken, since I don't feel anything bad after coming back to the blog. Let's hope this will last.
Anyway, even snow covered runs feel great. This week and the next will be work intensive for me, with little time to train, but after that, I will seriously train for the Heidelberg half-marathon. See you there?

Preparing HD half 2013

I have been quite silent in the last months. Kind of superstitiously afraid of posting here that I am fine. Anyway, I though it is time to break this stupid superstition and get on with it.
So, I am back to running at least 2 and sometime 3 times per week, barefoot only and back on hills. I even went back to do some interval trainings on the track. I still have some very faint feelings on both tendon and in the right knee, but nothing worth considering. It will soon be time to register to the HD 1/2 marathon. And to get ready for it.
I hope this year will be it. See you there?
