I dont have plans to do road races barefoot but I wont rule it out-

Awesome!
Sounds like you're starting slow enough which is good.
I picked up some Vibram Five-Finger sprints for near-barefoot running, and, after a couple weeks of regular walking in them, figured I was good to do some sprint work.
6x 400 meter intervals and three weeks later, I still can't run
. Had some pain in my 4th metatarsal, so I'm resting my feet for another week to avoid a stress fracture.
NDD: Ah, understood. Thanks for the response. Do you do them as part of a circuit, or stand-alone? Thrusters hurt...in my opinion, their conditioning potency is equivalent to Ross Enamait's burpee.
