I was running WIRI last night and towards the end I got pins and needles like sensation in my feets, does anyone know the reason for this?

Great tip thanks and it worked! I tried "parallel lacing" and went for a run this morning and it made a great difference! :) :) Happy feet now!

I have this problem too and also posted a question a while ago about it. Someone suggested it might be caused by dehydration, so I always drink plenty before I go out (though I personally haven't found that it made much difference). I've also tried to do my laces really loosely and that does seem to help, though not completely. I'll definitely try googling looser lacing!

Let me know if you find any other solutions!
