Barefoot running?

Just got back from a couple of barefoot miles catching the last rays of sun. Was lovely to feel the slight warmth of the tarmac percolating through my soles. One other bonus I noticed is that overtaking cars give a lot more space if they think you've got a screw loose.

Aye just got back from my route, all the normal* runners are out.

*you know, the ones that stop running when the weather turns to shit, and the people who don't say things like "6 inches of snow, you say? I'll go for a once round the block then…"

Forefoot runner here with shin splints, bit fed up with it all really. And all these running threads arent helping 😐
Its more of an ache really on the lower leg and think caused by too many miles to soon too fast. My own fault as i kept pushing on with speed work when my calves were still tight from long quick runs. May try some barefoot on the treadmill when i get back to it.

Anyone tried barefoot on a treadmill at the gym? Bet that'll draw some looks. Might give it a go.
