Question

okay so i was running today and about 2.5 milkes into it my arch started to hurt really bad. so bad that i had to start to walk.. my shoes only have 200 miles and i had the same exact shoe before these..

any ideas why my arch hurts, what to do about it, and should i run tomorow??

Answer 1

I have the same problem. My trainer suggested that I stretch them out by doing stretches such as putting the top part of your feet up on a wall and leaning forward as far as you can. Also, you need to ice them. I would suggest making a mixture of water and alcohol. Put water in 3/4 of the bottle and alcohol in the other 1/4. Then freeze it and roll it over your arch. I don't know your exact situation, but taping made mine worse because pushes on where its already swollen. If taping works for you thats good though. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Ice it for 10-15minutes 3Xs and then get athletic tape and wrap it around your foot (arch and top of foot) about 3 to 4 times. Wrap this with a snug fit but not too tight when your toes go blue or numb.   This will make a temporary support for your arch.  Take advil about an hour before your race and your good to go.  If the problem persists, go see your doctor.
