A thread for those running barefoot or in minimalist shoes to share their experiences - and for everyone else who would like to participate, of course 
Yesterday I ran 1km barefoot in 6:00. It was towards the end of a longer run. I just took the shoes off and ran on a 440m loop. Smooth tarmac and only the odd pebble here and there.
It was wonderful to have my feet touching the road.
My groin injury didn't hurt while running barefoot :| It did before. I then put my shoes on and continued and after a few minutes the pain came back.
If I can manage to go for my run in daylight I'll give it a go again today.
