@sbr do you run without any sort of shoe on? Or do you wear a minimal shoe? If so which one? If truly barefoot, what surfaces do you usually run on? I imagine asphalt to be too hot during the summer

@citySlicker depends on weather and training (foot strength), from bare to cushioned I wear

• Bare foot
• DIY huaraches
• Xeroshoes z-trail
• Merrel trail glove 7

If warm and I am trained, full bare foot for a short run < 5km, otherwise huaraches.

If warm and less trained, hurraches, otherwise Xeros if lazy or longer runs.

If its a bit cold/wet Xeros, colder/wetter Merrels.

In general try to run as little as possible on asphalt, short trail is 1km from my home, long trails are 2km from my home.

Running on a treadmill is a form of masochism, but is easily accessible. With my current level of focus issues, I find that I don't run unless I can just pop on the treadmill for 20 min and go about my business a couple of times a day. I don't even get sweaty.

step one — I quite like running, and cycling (of which there is /s/bicycles) and other forms of activity away from a computer. The irony of wanting to talk about things away from a computer on a computer is not lost on me. Nevertheless, I wrote down some thoughts on running and thought others might have their own so created this sub.
