Hello fellow runners!
I've just graduated on the c25k plan but I have struggled a bit over the last couple of weeks as I find I get 'pins and needles' in my left foot up to my calf in the last 5-8 minutes in the run. It gets so bad, it almost feels like I have a plaster cast on my foot! 
Does anyone else have this problem or do you have any advice how I can combat this?
Thanks in advance for your response! 
Do you have your laces done up too tightly? I've been the victim of 'dead feet' for that very reason!
I don't think I do - I always like any footwear I wear to be be a little loose!
Did you get it in both feet or just one?
More in my right foot as that is my lead leg - it may be worth checking, just in case though.
As long as your shoe doesn't fly off half way through your run! :-\
Will definitely check and make sure my shoe doesn't take flying lessons! Lol! 
Obvious question, I know, but have you changed your shoes or insoles recently? I remember I had a similar problem when I bought some new shoes.
No, the trainers aren't new - started using them a couple of months before c25k.
It might be the way your shoes are tied. Have a look at this article with suggestions on how to tie your shoelaces to stop cramp/tightness (3rd one down probably applies to you)

Thanks but can you re-post the link please - it goes to a 404 error? :/
Not sure why it posted like that (only half the link highlighted), just copy the entire line and paste into a new window and it should work
Ah, got it! Will re-lace my trainers and let you know - my next run is tomorrow morning... fingers crossed!

I was getting the same thing. I stopped tightening my shoes as much and now its gone away although my shoe isnt as tight as i would like!
Any advice on getting pins and needles or a dead leg when running?
Pins and needles in foot
Does anyone get swelled hands and fingers near the end of a run?
Pins and needles in my toes?
Nearing the end of the beginning!
