Alternatives to running when the weather stinks!

emmab0902

I am a barefoot runner and while I run in light rain, we are set for a week of the heavy stuff and I am FRUSTRATED! Treadmill isn't an option due to the impact on barefoot (correct me if that's wrong) and I am guessing running on the spot inside won't cut it either. I want something as close to running as possible as I am wanting to improve strength and running style as well as tendon and ligament strength, so not just an alternative cardio exercise. Any advice hugely appreciated!
