10km barefoot (Hilly, 3km steep)
Starting the week strong with my longest barefoot run yet, with some minor consequences though at the soles. Legs feeling good and well rested, ready for some good speed sessions again.
Am also toying with the idea of running my first barefoot marathon a little sooner than planned after being inspired by BarefootJulian, a sub 3 hour barefoot marathoner who completed his first barefoot 42.195 in 2:55 after 3 months of barefoot running.
Thursday's run reminded me of my first LSD 4 months ago . 21km was 10 x 2.1km around a hilly asphalt course. Back then on my 9th round, my knees felt like they were going to break. Got the usual black toenail from the downslopes but I must say this run was a breeze compared to several months ago.
Decided to add another rest day on Friday as I will be hitting those steep inclines again. Yes, those hills that destroyed me for almost an entire week. And barefoot this time round, so quantity would be subjective as this is my first trail run barefoot.
Good barefooting on Saturday. Did only half of the steep inclines compared to 2 weeks ago. Being well rested and probably due to some slight improvement, I should ready for another fantastic week ahead. Moderate mileage this week, but a well balanced one.
