what the hell have I done to my feet??

[SparklyGothKat]

I started training for 'Race for life' and the British heart foundation race a few weeks back. I am going the 'couch to 5k' programme and do not push myself too much. I warm up and cool down. Misdee came over on monday and we started the programme but my feet started to hurt and then Misdee hurt her knee so we took a walk home. Since then, both of my feet have hurt, I can't get up the stairs without holding on, it feels like my bones are crushing together. What have I done??

What shoes were you wearing? Proper running ones?

nike trainers

maybe you have a touch of this

i have somehting similar in my left foot, it hurts like hell, went the docs and she reckons its coz i was wearing high boots alot over christmas, its been hurting for weeks now, im convinced ive fractured it

When you say trainers are we talking skinny little sole trainers Sparkly or something with a bit of bounce?

a bit of bounce.

ahh I see I have a high arch

Perhaps you need more support Sparkly. You can get arch supports from most sports shops if you don't want to stretch to new runners.

Your feet are probably just adjusting to the new workload.
