meshak, I doubt shoes are causing you pain. Its probably the way your foot hits the ground. When barefoot you naturally change your style. Just copy that with shoes on and you'll be free from joint pain AND cuts.

I gave up on shoes. I got used to it in less than three months. :)

I think I damaged skinny bone of the right foot when I started to walk long time ago. I have to live with it.

Do you think you could run a 5K under 20:00 barefoot on asphalt? :chuckle:

I ran a 5K time trial on the track in 21:05 back in late 2011. But in shoes though. I wish I could ran as fast as this legendary runner did in her prime. She ran a 14:48.07 5K barefoot as a teenager. :shocked:

I think the fastest timed 5k I've ever run was 16:21, in 2010 I believe. But that was in distance spikes.

That's pretty good.

16:21 would have been the overall winning time at some of the smaller 5K's I used to run in.

I could never break 18:00 in a 5K. I used to hate 5K's, but ran in a lot of them.

10K's and half-marathons were my favorites.

I remember running 5K's when I was in my 30's and 40's, and little 14 year old girls would be passing me. It was very humiliating.

Oh, Ok, Nope. I jogging is the only thing I can. No running. It is much tougher running.

A six minute mile is decent for distance. Eight to ten isn't awful if you're a recreational runner. The point is to get moving, stay moving and make it an enjoyable part of your day. I look forward to my five plus. Unless you plan to run competitively in your age group don't worry about time.

My goal is to jog until I die no matter how slow:)

I am not interested in competition.

People who compete develop pain problem.

You have to push your limit to compete.
