That Man McDougall Again

[marathondan]

I'm currently taking off my shoes and socks for the last third to half a mile of each run. It's a great sensation, and I can feel that it's affecting my gait when I'm running in shoes. I definitely know what forefoot running should feel like now - which I think is half the battle - even if I'm not consistently achieving it.

I'd like to be able to take the distance up to 1-2 miles this season, but I'm taking it very gradually and will watch carefully for overdoing it. Ankles are creaking like rusty hinges when I get up in the morning, but they're fine once I loosen up.
