Hi I have felt a sore cramp sort of pain under the arches of my middle toes when I get to about 8k. I normally stop wriggle my toes round and then carryon a few times. Anyone else get this?? The pain is gone after running and not there on early part of run or day after

I have had gait analysis and got right trainers

Yes I used to. Dunno why but I got stronger and it just sorted itself out

You can do feet and toe exercises, and spend time without shoes, which I did and do now. in bare feet , try standing on one leg and then the other. You can do,that every time you brush your teeth. It works those feet and ankles, toes 😃

I walk around the house bare feet all the time but I'll do some toe wriggles and pick up stuff with toes a little more like I said it's only after abut 8k so I'm not too worrid as if it were anything serious I expect I'd feel ot all the time when weight bearing. Fingers crossed it stops.

Not sure..... perhaps stop and stretch. Do you try and relax when you run. If you tense up this can cause crampy parts? Perhaps keep an eye....
