Week 7 Run2

So still here still ticking off the runs I find that sometimes I have to have more than 1 rest day but I don't give up.

One thing I have noticed is that now Im doing longer runs the top of my feet can be painful afterwards is this normal? I understand achy thighs thats not a problem, its more the top of my feet that are bothering me, any advice?

Are your shoes to tight ?Try parallel lacing or Hot spot lacing as shown in this video .

I use elastic laces as my feet swell quite considerably on a run. They just expand a bit as your feet swell and it did the trick for me :-)
