Mid foot pain/numbness?

Does anyone else get this? Not when I'm actually running but around runs.

Not enough to stop me walking or serious issue but I know something's not quite right. May be lack of strength in feet so I tried a yoga for feet video today; youtu.be/ea4MF7IqILA

How much space do you have in the toe box of your shoes? I get mid-foot pain if my toes aren't free to wiggle.

Are you wearing thicker socks due to the cold weather, and unintentionally scrunching your toes?

Could be. It's just my right foot though. Which is odd as id think that would be the strong one...

It could be as simple of slacking off your laces. Honestly 🙂

Went to the physio they advise its weak muscle in foot. One way to fix is to practice standing on one foot. Also picking things up with your toes!

Excellent. You did the right thing - getting professional advice from somebody who can touch and see where it hurts is definitely the way to go. Hope the exercises sort it quickly.

Well unfortunately the advice is almost also always to rest too. And I don't want to. :(

hahaha, yes, it often is. And it's bloomig annoying. But they probably DO know what they're talking about, so we'd better listen :)
