Subject: Foot Pain after long run I did my first HIM in Augusta sept 30, and I was planning to do the Savannah Rock and Roll marathon Nov 3. However I was on my long run last saturday and my feet started hurting about mile 15. I quit about mile 18, and the next day the arches of my feet really hurt. I did a 3 miles that day. My arches have hurt all week, so I only ran thursday for 6 miles, about mile 5 they started hurting, so I called it quits. I'd been running 25 miles per week up until the HIM, then I tried 35 the week after, then I was up to 38 the week I hurt my feet. Should I lay off even more till my feet feel better? If they still don't feel 100% by Nov. 3, should I just do the half marathon instead? This is new territory for me, first marathon. |
