Brooklyn Half Marathon 2:07:12@169/195


Brooklyn half marathon...my favorite! I ran this barefoot for the first time. It was a bit hot at 70 degrees and the Brooklyn roads are much rougher than I had anticipated or hoped for. Parts of prospect park road are very coarse and have sharp gravel spread on the road which sucks. Also the second half of the ocean drive was newly minted and ironically, it much rougher and hotter than first half.

So around 8.75mi, I had a breakdown. I was slowing down but averaged about 9:17min/mi till then but then I started walking which killed any chance of improving my time. I ended up running on the divider lines and tip toe walk at crossing which not only slowed me down but also broke down rhythm of my run. I could feel blisters forming and was terrified of getting them too early to finish since there were 5 more miles to go. But once I made it about 11.5mi, I knew I had broke through that danger and started sprinting. Once i reached the boardwalk, it was very nice with ocean wind and cheering crowd. The board walk it self wasnt too bad but I had to bit careful stepping and perhaps that slowed me down a bit but not much. I liked the way how my feel contoured to the wooden planks. But it doesnt make for a fast surface.

Anyhow, I am glad I managed to run the half with no major injury despite no training and heavy crossfitting workouts this week including several weightlifting PRs just 12 hours before the race. Only regret is the slow time.

Hi! I'm very interested in getting some barefoot stride coaching in NYC. Do you know of anyone who might be able to help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Will you take my word for it if I tell you that we are born to run and barefoot running in our DNA? No coaching needed. Besides, I am not personally aware of anyone else in NYC running barefoot. Perhaps, you can check http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/RunningBarefoot/ for advice on how to begin running barefoot.

I'm already running barefoot (or, often, in Vibram FiveFingers), and have been for a few years now. My interest is in improving my stride to run more efficiently. Thanks for the link, I'll have a look.

Do a search for a POSE coach online(posetech), there are several in New York. And plenty of us "barefooters" out there in CP and on the west side highway...just look down.

I'm running barefoot in Central Park every other day. Typically 8-13 miles if anyone wants to join me. my pace is still slow (~10 min miles) but I'm getting there as I've only been unshod for 60 days or so.
