3.28 K Forefoot running

#11 – 50 runs in 100 days – Hardcore edition
#118 – 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

I took some time off from running after the race last weekend and when I was planning my running this weekend I realized that I had not done any forefoot running in a while.

Since the cadence did not get registered during the race last weekend it was an idea to do forefoot running to see if it was just a temporary issue and also work on my forefoot running.

I am still at 20 min forefoot running, since I had not done it in a while it would be 20 min I would do this afternoon.

Earlier today it had been grey and rainy but then the sun showed itself, the temperature was 15oC (59F), perfect.

Decided to use my regular running shoes and run around the neighbor hood on the bike paths.

Sometimes I am wondering what people think of me when I run around on my fore feet. I am not sure how it looked like.

Great colors on the trees and the leaves on the ground, it was magic running surrounded by all the Fall colors.

I who was sceptic in the beginning about forefoot running might end up bying barefoot shoes later this Spring.

Distance: 2.04 miles (3.28K), time: 20.04.5 min, average pace: 6.07 min/k, max pace: 5.13 min/k, cadence: 190, VO2 Max: 27 ml/kg/min

3.02K Forefoot running

#43 – 50 runs in 100 days summer edition
#100 – 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

It was a while since I did barefoot running last so this afternoon I decided I would have a forefoot running exercise for 20 min with my Altra Lone Peak 2.0 shoes.

Basically ran on my front feet but not down hill.

Felt good today, no pain in my knees and no tired calves.
