Now I’m curious what running shoe brands all the @higherathletics peeps prefer. 🤔

Your preferred running shoes? 

I run in Nike Air Zoom, but also have Hoka Clifton 9

Haha, indeed. Been slowly increasing my mileage in the barefoot shoes. After jumping up to 12.5mi in 3 runs for week 1 of the challenge, my first 5mi run on week 2 strained my foot a bit, so I decided to drop out and let it rest rather than push it and get injured.

one of my coaches back in Australia made me run barefoot on grass.  felt so unnatural which shouldn't be a case at all. i think 2 km was my peak barefoot performance haha

Haha, at least you gave it a go. The difference in form when running with and w/o shoes really is massive. My calves and feet muscles (who knew those even existed) have never been stronger.
