Need advice from barefoot runners

emmab0902

How long does it take for the arch, foot, ankle etc to stengthen/adapt to barefoot running?? I made the switch to try to overcome knee problems and have been doign C25K barefoot. Did week 2 day 1 yesterday which is 20 minutes of 60 seconds running 90 seconds walking. Felt great during and after, but have a mild niggle in my left arch and inner ankle today.

Would appreciate any guidance on how slow I need to take it to do this safely.

Thanks!
