Answer 1

Uh get it checked out with a doctor. I wouldn't ask someone over the internet.

Answer 2

could be shoes, and can someone answer my question

Answer 3

It could be something as silly as your feet being just a bit off ( ex. over pronation).  If it keeps up, you should go see a podiatrist.  

I was having pain in my foot, and then in my shin after a while, and I went to my foot doctor.  He said I has plantar fasciitis and fit me with some insoles.  Now, I'm fine and running up to 12 km at a time.

He told me that if I didn't have my gait corrected, the pain could have kept moving up to my knees and hips.  He was really informative and helpful.

Answer 4

I am not a doctor or physician, but I am guessing you have been taking your workouts to heavily and need to take it easy for a while.  Meaning don't run your usual [insert number here] hours/minutes cut the time down or take it slower.

Also, you need to stretch better before AND after you run.

If this doesn't work consult your doctor immediately.

Answer 5

How thorough are you stretching beforehand?
