Just be very careful if you start BF running. I did too much too fast and got a stress fracture in my right foot in the metatarsal area. That was a week ago and i still can't put much pressure on my right foot.
oh yeah cause we never use that muscle you said
Yep. I hope I didn't do serious damage to my foot. Its been over 2 weeks and I still can't use half of the muscles in my right foot. I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow about it.
yeah thats probably the best thing to do, I've been meaning to try to just go around 1 block barefoot running but its so hot outside once schools out im gonna wake up in the morning and do it.
yeah, just do once around the block then put on your running shoes to finish your run. Also make sure that before you start that you do a lot of research on Barefoot running itself, specifically form. If you have improper form (and trust me, when you start I can guarantee you will) you can seriously hurt yourself. Google the "100 up McDougall" you'll find a New York Times video of Born to Run's author showing a very fast drill to get you running with perfect form.
Called it. The Doc took a look at the X-ray. Stress Fracture.
oh okay and jeez any medicine for it or do you have surgery or something?
