Hi everyone,
I recently took up running again following the birth of my son 8 months ago, and am currently training 5 times a week in preparation for the new york marathon in November. I am now up to 4.5 miles however after approx 30 minutes on each run I get pins and needles/numbness on the balls of my feet.
I was running in a pair of Saucony shoes and was advised that they were probably too tight/small so I then went to a specialised running shop who used the video gait analysis to confirm that I was in a neautral shoe which was correct but that they were perhaps slightly small. I purchased a new pair of asics (properly fitting) which I tried out yesterday (slightly longer and wider) and still had the same pins and needles after approx 25 minutes of running!!!!
Needless to say I'm quite frustrated (and also £80 worse off!!). Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this and any possible solutions?
Any help/advice would be much appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Emma
