W5:2 - foot problems
Just back after run 2 of week five feeling pretty elated that i managed to run for 8 minutes without stopping not once but twice!
However I've started to get a problem with my right foot, a couple of times on the cool down walk it's gone numb, with pins and needles. This time it did it during the last 8 minute run itself. Can anyone offer advice?
Could be as simple as your laces are too tight. As you run, your feet can swell and shoes get too tight. I have my laces really loose- I can slide my foot in without undoing them (after all I said to my children!)

I was coming here to say this - my trainers feel a bit loose when I start, but are tighter at the end. I too find my feet feel funny if my laces are too tight.
That's great thank you, feeling reassured and hopeful so I'm glad I asked for help! Googling now!
