Main difference for barefoot running li...Hi there,<br /><br />Main difference for barefoot running literally force you to adopt a forefoot-midfoot strike instead of the more common heelstrike when wearing cushioned shoes. Yes the knee will be spared of the sudden impact of heelstrike, but it is because the calves muscles is working more to resist the impact like a spring. Alright if your calves are developed, but if not...<br /><br />Plus barefoot running might chalk up other types of running injuries, research is still needed..<br /><br />You might want to read this article.<br /><br />http://www.sportsscientists.com/2010/05/barefoot-running-and-injuries.html<br /><br />I have a pair of VFF, tried 3 runs in it so far, but did not have the chance to go barefoot (i run at bedok reservoir, so not a very good idea =P)<br /><br />It was fine, except after my first run of 5km in VFF i had sore calves for 4-5days. But previous run of 7km was fine. Guess the important thing is to start slow and do not rush the mileage or intensity. Injury results from improper training and technique, especially over training.<br /><br />(Pardon for the long post)<br />Yuanhuilooiyuanhuihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663187993268153446noreply@blogger.com
