Foot pain in runners - A quick guide

How runners can figure out what's causing their foot pain when the reason is not obvious

Hi there,

Runners get foot pain in two ways: It can happen suddenly, like when you twist your ankle on uneven terrain - the reason why your foot or ankle is sore is usually obvious. But a foot injury might also creep up on you over time – and often the reason for it is a bit of a mystery, because you can’t link it to a specific incident.

This second type of injury is the subject of our main article below.

  • We’ll show you how to figure out what might be causing your pain.

  • And we’ll share the Top 3 treatments that work best for each of these injuries.
