I've never been much of a runner, but I've been picking up hill running recently. I'm quite enjoying it, but also using it as a way to train for an upcoming mountaineering trip.
I recently bought some brooks cascadia 16 trail running shoes and after a couple of short (2 mile) hill runs in them I've noticed a problem.
The tendons under my middle toes, where they join the foot have mild pain.
This is a problem as I need to continue to get fit but really can't afford it to turn into an injury and my goal deadline looming.
I'm not wearing inserts, but normally need to as I have mild flat feet. Not noticed a problem with my arches.
The shoes are otherwise perfect, and would really rather not buy a different pair, at least not without understand what the problem is.
Has anybody got any experience of this and know what, if anything can be done to prevent this type of injury?
