2013 2014, the days of barefoot running


Started running at the end of 2012, initially only want to run every day, exercise under the body, did not expect to run a long distance.

The day of the 2012 Shanghai Marathon, I as a passer-by onlookers a group of happy lunatics Run in the wind and rain, many of them young and old face, so the heart of a thought, I can also become a member, experience the joy of running in the rain. 2012 Shanghai Marathon Day, I decided to start my first half marathon plan, with three months to let myself from running a 35 km tired of panting to be able to run a 21.0975km distance, I also become a happy run madman.

In the days to come, every day will continue to run for a period of time, constantly increase the distance of running, three months after the 2013-year Suzhou ring Jinji Lake Half Marathon, 1 hours 50 minutes to complete the race, the first run so long distance, after the game cramps and soreness constantly, but the first goal has finally reached the right. In the 2013, because of running also encountered a lot of running problems, in the process of communicating with the runners learned the concept of minimalist running shoes and barefoot running. 2013 due to work relatively busy, intermittent participation in the Shanghai barefoot running friends will organize barefoot camp training, began barefoot running training. 2013 The first barefoot race, is Li Ning Road run 10 kilometers Shanghai station, the first time in preparation is not very sufficient situation, took off the shoes, barefoot ran 52 minutes 10 kilometers, ran the ankle pain for one weeks, then finally recovered, gradually enough is what I learned in this competition. 2013 back again and again wearing a pair of cloth shoes to participate in Beijing Half Marathon, Hangzhou half Marathon, finally met the rain in Shanghai Marathon, completed the first no shoes only wore socks half marathon, 1 hours 54 minutes to complete the race, after the game feel no discomfort feeling.

2014, really opened up my barefoot running course. 2014 Xiamen International Marathon is my first full marathon, and I was the first to wear a pair of flat shoes running through the whole marathon race, the results of 4 hours 44 minutes 40 seconds. Then, the first completely bare feet tentatively ran the 2014-year-old Suzhou ring Jinji Lake Half Marathon, 2 hours 08 minutes run, after running without any discomfort, I confirm that I have the ability to run barefoot Half marathon. Then, is a pair of cloth shoes run 2014 years of the Wuxi Marathon race, the match organized in place, the environment and temperature are very good, 4 hours 29 minutes 50 seconds to run the whole process, run the next day and then brush a 20 km of easy to run. April, 2014, the first time very happy barefoot ran the Yangzhou marathon, finished the results of 1 hours 56 minutes, completely barefoot, completely reckless. After the Yangzhou marathon, one is half a year, half the time because of life and work changes, running stopped. November 2014, after six months of no running time, wearing my flat shoes completed the 2014 Shanghai Marathon men all the way, originally planned 4 hours 30 minutes after the race, due to a long time no exercise, physical decline, 30 kilometers on a dragon bridge speed from 6 points 12 fell to 7 points 11 , the final 4 hours and 42 minutes ran out of the man's journey. After the whole journey, practiced 2 20 kilometers, a few 10 kilometers, December 21 pedal A pair of shoes 1 hours 47 minutes 47 seconds completed Shangrao Half Marathon, time for the first full marathon in 2015, is also the first barefoot full marathon preparation.

January 3, 2015, the first barefoot full marathon was completed in 4 hours and 50 minutes. The first barefoot run all the way, but also felt a few of the few challenges of the hill, Xiamen, the whole process to run more cautious, 25 km when the road is worse, the speed from 6 to 7 points. 30 kilometers later, ran through the bad Road, also ran across a variety of small slopes, the remaining distance in addition to the road more than the number of people, can completely open the speed of running. 30 kilometers to 35 kilometers, I saw his watch, found that his pace has reached 5 points per kilometer, ran to 35 km when many people are walking, can not be so carefree to run down, only to restore speed to 6 points per kilometer, has maintained this speed to the end. 4 hours 50 points over the line, run the whole process except feel thirsty, salt loss is more serious outside, other states are normal.



To summarize, my barefoot running has undergone so many processes: 1. Flat shoes 2. Wear socks 3. Completely barefoot, in fact, is also a constantly adapt to constantly challenge themselves, and constantly get happy process.

The only trouble with shoes is that if the shoe is larger, running will not be able to keep up with the rhythm of their running, if relatively small, running for a period of time hind feet will be bound by the shoe, or be worn out xiepao, or be uncomfortable shoes bound. Wear socks in fact, in order to make a transition barefoot, but also recommended to start barefoot small partners to try, can help us overcome health problems, but there is still some, one is still unable to directly feel the body and the ground contact feeling, there is a sock in the damp after the existence of grinding foot problems. Completely barefoot, need to constantly experience, feel, accept, and then continue to practice, need to slowly, gradually, not haste.

Last year and this year very little participation in barefoot-related activities, one is the peripheral barefoot running too few people, the other barefoot participation in the event is also very poor. I can only have free time, go to the nearby park Barefoot Walk and run. At present, most of the local barefoot in addition to overcoming their own psychological problems, more than other people do not understand and support the vision. In many places, barefoot is treated like shirtless, and is expressly forbidden, which limits the range of our barefoot activities.

Wearing shoes can be reckless, but can only reduce pain, the ability to reduce injury and enhance their own muscle is not much help, personal view.


Running barefoot, running when you need a comprehensive assessment of the weather, road conditions, personal health, all OK, fully drive their ability to run, feel the body's feedback and shoes are slightly different.

Here does not judge who is superior who inferior, suits own is good.


2015, will be my barefoot running start time, look forward to the activities can also be safe and happy, barefoot run every marathon.



Look forward to more small partners, can together barefoot, happy to run.
