I have started running and am trying to work my way up to running long distances. I have noticed that when I run, I experience pain on the outside of my left foot, on the inside arch of my right foot, and in my shin of my right leg.


90% chance (or more) you're doing too much too soon

any tips for building up to running long distance would help


Increase by no more than 10% from week to week (in time or distance), incorporate different types of runs (slow, tempo, long, interval) to your program and learn the beauty of a long run is found in correct pacing and effort.

I do not have the patience for this, but I will try. I have been trying to run until I feel really tired, which is obviously very inconsistent and dependent upon numerous factors.
