Recovery and a little research

I joined the Minimalist Runner Google group (run by BareFoot Ted) to ask a few questions. The people there are awesome, after reading a few pages of their archived discussions I feel that I have a lot to look forward to as a minimalist and unshod runner. First of all it was comforting to see that most of my learning pains are completely normal and expected--the muscle aches and blisters. I have found that there are few key points I need to keep in mind:

• let my feet tell me when enough is enough - don't over do it
• take it slow and easy
• work on my form
• do intervals, the run/walk/run method

One of the members recommended Jeff Galloway's run/walk/run method. I have never done interval training, but had heard that it is great for increasing speed and distance. The method sounds perfect for my circumstances. My plan for tomorrow's run is to implement a 5 min run to 1 min walk ratio, I will use the walking time to evaluate my running form and and the running time to experiment with improvements.
