I had such great intentions. First I got zapped by a cold last Saturday by Monday night I thought I felt well enough to cycle. Great idea but I was wrong... by the end of the ride Monday I was completly out of gas. So I went home and collapsed in bed. The rest of the week has been a blur I got a few workouts in but I am thinking the Saturday workout maybe brutal.
I spent a lot of time this week reading the book 'Born to Run'. Absolutly a great read, that talked about how the best endurance runners in the world today run barefoot or with a very thin soled shoe. The theory is that by running barefoot you strengthen the muscles in the foot and infact strengthen the arch and strech the foot more. I have started looking at the Vibram five finger shoes. http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/ I am thinking that by possibly doing some training with these shoes that when I am out on longer runs my feet will be better able take the pounding.
