Hello! Well, I have an interesting problem that I have yet to figure out. While I used to run outside a lot when I was youger... it is something that I got away from in college. About 3 weeks ago I started walking around the local middle school track and have slowly been building that up to a run. I have been able to run 1/2 to 3/4 of every lap (I do 10 - 11) the last few times I have been out there. The problem I have been running into (no pun intended) is that my feet (typically my right, but tonight was both) start going numb when I am running. I thought that maybe I needed new shoes, but I haven't had these shoes for too long and have no problem with them when I do
cardio at the
gym. I also tried to wear my shoes looser tonight, but around lap 4-5 the problem returned. I do have a strong background in anatomy as I am in occupational therapy school now, but this I am having a hard time understanding.
Anyone have input as to why this is happening and how I can make it stop? I would like to continue this workout as I really enjoy being outside in the evening and I would like to run a 5k someday.
Any help would be great!
Thanks!
