I've heard from a few sources that each barefoot mile counts as 1.3 regular miles with all of the strain on your lower leg muscle and what not...for instance I'm doing roughly 70 mpw all barefoot so I'm averaging 91 mpw.
Is there any credibility to this?
Source?
no
1 mile barefoot equals 12 miles with shoes. Barefoot running is so difficult. Barefoot running works ALL muscles. It is soo good.
Come on bro, I created this handle a few hours ago and you've already stolen it. Not cool man.
1 hour crossfitting equals 1 week running. Just ditch the runs altogether and join the real athletes.
There are many arbitrary ways to measure this. I do find it quite difficult to do barefoot miles, so they're several miles worth of strain to my legs. As for the strain to my aerobic system? Not even close.
Shoebacca, how much MPW do you do barefoot? Do you think if you do barefoot more often it will increase your fitness 1.3 times the amount of doin regular running?
