Instep pain when jogging?

Question

I always have pain in my instep when I go jogging. It is not a sharp pain, but more of a bothersome discomfort that keeps me from running faster. It has always been there, on and off, for the last ten years.

I always run late in the afternoon, so I think my feet are already warmed up when I start my run. It is very pronounced at the start of my run, but if I kept running for more than half an hour, it goes away.

Can you please tell me what this is and how to get rid of it?

Answer 1

You should go to a chiropractor, i think that your back is out of alignment.

Answer 2

Your feet may be out of alignment. Either go to a running store and get some insoles to help with the problem or go to a podiatrist to have them look at your feet. If there is a problem, they will recommend orthotics. If you need orthotics, without them the pain will only continue, eventually to your legs an knees.
