Strange sensation

You know that feeling when you get a hole in your sock or a stray fibre twists around your big toe? (Bear with me...)

Well I get the same garrotting sensation when I run more than 10k.

So I un-shoe, check for stray threads and flex my toes and all is good for a while longer.

Any idea what is causing the weird sensation? It’s only one foot, not painful, no swelling or marks and doesn’t linger...

Thank you for the link! So it seems it is a common issue but no-one has a clue what causes it. Hmmm. Could be that my Mizuno are dying so I’ll try new insoles.

I'm NOT an actor who plays a doctor on TV :)

I'm not even a doctor !

IF it were me - I'd get checked for B12 deficiency, hypothyroidism and pre-diabetis.

Having ruled those out - I would then basically try different shoes/inserts/pre run and during run habits etc :)

I hope you find a solution and wish you many happy miles in your future 🙂
