I tried BAREFOOT RUNNING for 7 days

I tried barefoot running for 7 days and I liked it!
Barefoot running became popular after the release of the book Born to Run by Christopher McDougall in 2009. After spending time with the Tarahumara tribe he concluded that modern cushioned running shoes were a big cause of running related injuries.
Minimal cushioned running shoes became common and people were even turning to running totally barefoot. However, in recent years it seems like people are moving back towards extra cushioning or maximalist running shoes.
For this challenge I wanted to see if I could try barefoot running for seven days. I was both interested in the effects on my running technique and whether I would feel any other mental or physical changes.
Research has shown that there might be positive results from grounding or earthing yourself. Something that I would be achieving daily through barefoot running.

It takes a long time to improve at barefoot running haha. Been doing it for 4 years myself. Run 50/50 barefoot and in minimalist shoes. Furthest distance was 21km so far.

I did 12 km after just 5 months or so. 20+ km in minimalist shoes. And I feel I can do more just don't want to force myself too much. Consistency and patience is key. My first few runs were less than 500 meters and I always got blisters. Now running 12km blister free and also without calluses(my skin did thicken though).

Good video, my longest run in minimalist shoes is 31.1 miles, hoping to change it to 50 soon 🤞🏻

Nice one! That's some distance. Good luck with the 50!

Hi ! I just like to walk barefoot, because I don't like to wear shoes. In this way, life is better (healthier, happier and more comfortable) than in shoes. Humans have evolved barefoot and the feet are well-equipped to handle any problems they might encounter on the ground. Aside from accidentally stepping onto something that might be painful (e.g. a Lego) you’ll be fine. In fact, it’s much healthier to go barefoot, than to let your foot sweat inside your shoe, creating a dark, damp and warm environment, perfect for the growth of bacteria and fungi. Aside from that, your average modern shoe is too narrow for the human foot, meaning it will compress and eventually deform your foot causing all kinds of issues. I wish you all the best, with strong health and happinessm in quiet and peace 🕊❗ Sincerely, Dinu, barefoot hiker (since at 2 years old, in 1961), from Romania ~ 🌲🦶🏼🦶🏼🌲👍🏻

Great video bud. Even from day one you could see the toe heel movement, which I’m sure doesn’t happen as well in trainers. A lot of kiwis especially in schools run barefoot, I wonder if they have less injuries world wide???

Cheers Ali. Definitely a more natural way to move. Interesting and refreshing to hear some Kiwi's in schools run barefoot. I probably would have got detention at my school!

My forced experience: Day one = toe numbingly cold, soaking wet, thorns, thorns, thorns, hard rough concrete for over a mile. Hands: torn to shreds by thorns. Feet: absolutely fine!!! Remaining days = no more shoes, no more socks, except for heavy duty work and extreme cold. Take it harder and the feet will accept it. Thorns and thistles and the like shouldn't be a concern at all!

I've always wondered how nice it must be to run thru freshly mown grass - smells so great. And I'd love to be able to walk barefoot along the sand. Sounds great Pete. Enjoy. Lynn 🇦🇺

I was wondering why he was running next to puddles with dirty feet, avoiding standing in the water, but of course the puddles are the lowest point - it's inevitable that stones will fall in there, and if they're really cloudy you can't see them. I've been pranked so many times by these really soft muddy puddles that are beautiful to sink your foot into. But then there's ALWAYS a stone at the bottom!

I have blisters too. But I don't mind them. Running few weeks barefoot on pavements.

He began correctly imho. You have to walk before you can run [barefoot]. Broken glass, sharp stones, acorns, some conifer cones, and here in Minnesota poison ivy: these could each harsh your mellow. The "grounding" aspect is under-rated in my experience. Possibly the basis of 森林浴, I don't know.

Lol, "quite liberated", as he fearfully avoids a wide open field. Barefoot running, the feeling of being free coupled with the inability to run anywhere.

Only after i threw away my shoes i really learned to run the way human beings are supposed to run. Took 3 weeks of running and walking without shoes on asphalt and gravel for my feet and calves to adapt. After one month of unshod running i ran 21km. And for the first time i am running PAIN AND INJURY FREE! In few weeks ill be walking 150km barefoot in two weeks in Lapland wilderness. Please people, leave your shoes home :)
