Was expected to do 10km today a race in Victoria Park (London) Things started ok with a 5;01 opening km. Then slowed down after. It was a 3 lap course, and on the second lap my toes on my left foot, started throbbing, i was thinking should i bail out. No don’t be silly but as time went on, the pain got worse. and in the end decided to be sensible before matters got worse. I was slowing down very quickly the last km i did (6th) i ran in 6:31. And i finished just before the 7th km. The last 100metres or so i ended up walking.
As soon as i finished it eased of so don’t know what the cause could be
shoelaces too tight
the shoes themslves
someone said my shoes may be too small try the next ½ size up (though i’ve been wearing the same size for years and i’m no youngster

Hope you sort out your toes! That is no good at all- maybe get your shoes fitted by a running shoe specialist and see what they say. Glad you are still running around, getting quick even if you aren’t blogging much!

Thanks toes seem ok this morning. I usually get my shoes from a specialist shop, not been having much luck with shoes at the moment. Used to love saucony, i would wear the jazzies, bo problems, the trigon2s lightweight were beautiful. Now its finding a new pair to replace them if i can
