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.
