Back to W4

[dmitry-kazan]

Since my last post I didn't grow in week number. I had a numb foot problem. In addition to feet numbness thigh pain appeared.

Since then I've bought new trainers, which are of a bigger size and made for runners. I also stepped back a bit - skipped last 5 minutes run for a couple of runs. Looks like due to this actions, both numbness and thigh pain seems to start fading away.

Today I ran the full W4 run, and there was almost no numbness. Seems, I'm back on track!

And - without special efforts - I run faster now according to Runtastic app.

very sensible, don't forget your feet swell when you run so don't lace up too tight...a mistake I have made too!!

I had numb foot problem but slackened laces sorted that out for me.

It's great you sorted it that easy! I'm still having that issue, not that bad though.

Hope you find the problem. I meant my comment as a suggestion for you to check your laces too, simple but it worked. I'd say my shoe was a little too slack at first. I asked at the gym and they told me not to worry as long as the feeling comes back when stopping. I believe it can be to do with muscle swelling and so ice helps maybe ibuprofen? I'm only novice myself so picking up info as I go along.

Thanks for the suggestion, my issue seems to be due to sciatic nerve. It slightly goes away with my fitness growing.

It's great that yours is just laces

Good luck on your way to 5k and keep posting!
