Day 14 - Trying to be a bit more natural

This time out I tried to be a bit more natural with my landing. I've been concentrating a lot on a very deliberate forefoot landing and I wanted to find out what difference it would make if I didn't concentrate too hard but just let myself land naturally in the barefoot shoes.

The result was that I generally landed with a very flat foot, a mid-foot landing I suppose. It was certainly easier on my calves and not at all difficult to maintain for the 1.5 miles that I covered.
Having taken a two extra rest days, the whole run was much more comfortable, and I feel ready to return to running every two days and slowly upping the metreage (I would call it mileage but it doesn't really yet qualify).
