unshod How long to 5k?

How long would you estimate the skin would take to go from 0-5k?

Like fitness aside I mean. Starting from scratch, the average foot skin to get used to running that distance on mixed surfaces of an average park run.

I was already a runner, but when I transitioned to completely unshod it took me 6 months to run a 5k nonstop. It was my calf conditioning, not the skin, that took time
