There were no other runners, just him a camera crew and the snow. I didn&#8217;t catch the whole show but boy did that look cold! Wim&#8217;s run of 13.11 miles on bare feet above the pole circle set a Guinness World Record.<\/p>\n<p>Temperatures on this chilly run where between 20 and 30 degrees celcius below zero.<\/p>\n<p>Quite an inspiration for running on the cold winter roads where I live. It&#8217;s not nearly as cold as the Antarctic, and if he can run there barefoot I&#8217;m sure I can survive my winter runs.<\/p>\n<p>Upon Wim finishing his Antarctic run his feet where examined for frostbite and to see their condition. There was much concern that he&#8217;d lose his toes as they where turning black and he said he lost feeling in his left foot after 11 miles. In the end he didn&#8217;t lose his toes, which made him happy and excited to get him self prepared for his next challenge &#8211; running on Mt. Everest. But of course for now he&#8217;s allowing his feet to recoup.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: \"Barefoot Ice Half Marathon\", url: \"http:\/\/www.logthatrun.com\/blog\/barefoot-ice-half-marathon\" });<\/script><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I watched a TV show on a man named Wim Hof, who wearing only shorts completed the first ever barefoot half marathon on snow in Antarctica.
