Hi guys, so yesterday I completed my first run of C25K and towards the last ten minutes of the run the bottom of my feet were very numb but I carried on regardless. Just wondering if any of you experienced this when you started running or could it be my running shoes causing it?

Sounds like it could be the shoes. Can’t see any other reason. Your foot/feet must be constricted?

Numbness can be symptomatic of restricted blood flow, so your shoes may well be too small (feet swell when we run) or that they are too tightly laced. This is why most people have running shoes at least a size larger than normal footwear.
