you’ll soon know if you can run barefoot style or not.
in my humble opinion, it needs a little commitment.
it’s a skill, it takes time to learn. it’s been 2 years since i threw my squidgy shoes in the bin, and i can still get it wrong – and finish a run with burning calves that ache for days.
(my technique falls apart if i try and run faster than 4ish mins/k, and i just start running on my toes)
are these expensive shoes better in practice than using plimsoles?
depends, if you can find a pair plimsoles that fit nicely, don’t move around on your feet too much, and have enough grip (if you want to run offroad) then i’d say ‘not really’.
don’t listen to me, i’m an idiot.
