I now have all of the above ailments you listed. I’m sticking to it though.
Thanks

Just watch the over-exuberance … basically, don’t go too fast or too far too soon because you might pay for it in terms of locked up calves, blisters, or other injuries. It takes some time to work up to min-shod or VFF (or barefoot) running!

I switched to biking/swimming during that time. I haven’t gotten back in the saddle, so to speak, with the VFFs yet as I have some races for which I need to be in form ;) Perhaps in April I’ll give it a shot again.

Did you still workout in the VFFs even when you were in pain? If so, how long before you could run normally again?

I’ve used my VFFs before, but I typically shelve them during the winter months. I wanted to start up barefooting, hoping to do so when starting GW28K (I just completed C25K a month or so ago).

My experience was nearly exactly the same as yours, and I think it’s a result of not starting baby steps. I think even going barefoot in GW28K would be too big of a start since there are longer run intervals. Perhaps I’ll redo C25K in VFFs?
