Week 3 "day" 4

[Rickne]

I prefer to call it run 2 rather than day but hey ho. Anyway these runs now feel so much quicker? Maybe because of the longer running spells I dont know but I tend to feel less worn out this week than week 2 with its start stop start stop. My right foot is starting to hurt this time however. Questioning my new adidas running shoes. Looking at some better cushioned insoles. Any recommendations?

Are your laces tied too tightly? Where does it hurt?

well this is the same as i had previously on my left foot . It runs down the outer side of my foot and slightly into the arch. Like an ache but can become a sharp pain. I have been stretching my feet prior to any activity. I had felt a tendon ping on the top of my foot earlier in the day so started using some compression socks which can help . But still I couldnt of gone much longer than the plan without being in agony.

Try rolling a bottle of iced water under it and stretch the foot with your hands of roll a golf ball under it.

If you're in that much pain then maybe you need to see a sports physio or your doctor.

If you think it might your new shoes could you take them back again?

well one way to find out is to try my older pair again and see . Booking to see a Doc here is nightmare these days do think some nice air cushioned insoles would help so gonna buy a pair now and try em.

Good idea. Rest a few days and then try them.
