Honest: I’ve just subscribed from lemmy instance so I don’t even know if anyone can read this message XD but I want to test.

Anyway

I have now traced back to my origins as #barefootrunner and can find some messages and blog post from 2012. Eleven years!!

It was unrelated to Born to run book though, my first steps were induced by triying to improve my technique and overall health (knee issues, ITB, etc.). Initially it was painful :D but I got hooked!!

Since then I also went to races, up to half marathon, and failed to race the marathon distance unshod.

Nowdays I run barefoot style almost all year around (mild temperatures here in north Spain) but it’s not a goal, it’s a medium to enjoy running.

I consider myself a trailrunner, wearing from fivefingers to altra shoes (wide, flexible and no drop)

I hope somebody can read and comment. Thank you for creating this space!!
