As you can see from the photo, we had a real treat with the room we’d booked. We felt more than a little shabby in our running clothes and subsequent dirty feet after practising the running drills outside. The workshop was great fun and as usual, we covered much more than just barefoot running. We’ve had some positive feedback so it looks as though the participants learnt a lot as well as having a good time. David and I were exhausted as we didn’t finish until 6pm and then had to find the B&B we’d booked. It wasn’t far away though and had a lovely, hot shower! On Sunday we negotiated the roads which was tricky as many of them had been closed due to the Liverpool marathon taking place. We made it to Sefton Park where we were meeting a client and then Georg and Andreas turned up after the session to join us for a barefoot

mixture of good and bad. After a great night on Sunday with Andreas (who’d also been on the workshop) we then broke down AGAIN and Monday morning saw us at Halford’s (car parts retailer) fitting a new car battery. We eventually made it back to London though and caught up on some much needed sleep! A big thank you to the workshop attendees and to the guys who came to the group run. Also, congratulations to the marathon runners – they went past the park at mile 22 but were still full of determination at that point and there was a decent crowd to spur them on. It’s always a heart-warming sight to see how running brings people together.
