Barefoot rocks

I have been incorporating more and more barefoot into my training lately and have noticed the benefits. I try to run at least once a week sometimes twice at the grass oval down the road. Not much, just 5kms each time but it feels so good. My average pace has increased and I am now thinking I might do some speedwork barefoot. I much prefer to forefoot strike sans shoes and it just feels more natural, like a kid running around again.

Training this week went well after a busy week workwise. I was glad to get some decent hitouts in.
