Perhaps you wear shoes with most life. Do not expect to throw them and be able to perform the same miles whether walking or running on barefoot shoes. To a certain extent, you have to learn how to run and walk. It will take an attempt to be conscious of you, and it may be very difficult. You not only study, you also ineffective Some deeply habitic habits. It is important to go slowly. Very, very slow, absurd.
The way you approach your barefoot shoes depends on what you want to do. I happened to meet, this was going well for me Have To make it slow (I smoke). If you are currently a super marathon and want to try barefoot shoes, you will have a difficult time to keep yourself. If you are somewhere between those poles, it is still difficult not to abuse it. Focus on discipline you often use to get the distance Are not Do the distance.
If you don't know where to start, see Graham Tuttle's youtube channelEspecially the exercises to strengthen his foot. These will help you develop your feet and ankles that you lack if you come from many years of shoes, and help relieve muscle aches when you start running barefoot. T INK also provides some paid program In order to provide you with a more personal guide (I have not tried any of these instructions). Another YouTube channel I find useful is Movemat channelIt is not characteristic for barefoot but has many good barefoot tips sprinkled throughout its content. And if you haven't read Christopher McDougall, both Born to run And The heroes are born naturally These are interesting readings related to bare legs. Indeed, Born to run It can be said that it has been done more to spread barefoot more than anything else because the cushion shoe was born in the early 1970s.
It is also worth saying that barefoot shoes are not a zero -zero game. For more than a year, I wear barefoot shoes, shoes regularly for other tasks and the rest of the time. It is not all or nothing. If you race barefoot and then slap your favorite converse shortly after, it's okay. Equally important is to know that everyone is different. It took me six months to completely switch to barefoot shoes. But that's just me. It can take two months or two years. Follow your own speed, and don't worry about others' experiences.
