I forgot my shoes today and it was track day so I did my first real interval workout in five fingers. Paul Wolf and Carol Rowe had the plan, 6 x 800 but with only 1 minute recoveries. I was going to do miles but what the heck went along with the program. We ran a little slower than when doing 800s with full 400 m recoveries: 2:57, 2:51, 2:50, 2:50, 2:50, 2:48. Good solid workout though short.
Then ran a 400 in 1:26 and a 200 in 43. Feet held up fine running on the track in the five fingers, but I found some new places on my feet to insert new blisters. Two mile cooldown back to my office, by the time I got there I did not feel like running barefoot anymore.
