I have been running barefoot on a plastic track for more than a month. My calves are sore after every run. Should I wear shoes? Ask God for help

Hello friends! I am a sports fanatic and have been teaching and training in physical education for more than 20 years. I am glad to serve you. Your question: I have been running barefoot on a plastic track for more than a month. My calves are sore after every run. Should I wear shoes? My answer: Hello! It goes without saying that you should also wear shoes for training on plastic tracks. This will be good for your feet, hips and ankles, with less vibration and less likely to be injured. Your calf pain is directly related to this. The friction between the sole of the foot and the plastic has a reaction force on your leg, causing excessive impact on the leg, causing soreness and pain in the calf. Hope you improve. Wish you good health! hapiness!
