Foot Pain Day After Long Run
Posted on 7/14/24 at 9:44 am
Posted on 7/14/24 at 9:44 am
Hey y'all. Haven't ever done a marathon, but I would definitely call myself a very experienced runner (run daily around, often around 7ish miles). Occasionally, I'll do a half marathon-ish on the treadmill. On Friday I did a little over 14 on the treadmill. Afterwards I felt fine, but just tired physically. I didn't have any foot pain afterwards or the morning/afternoon after either.
However, yesterday evening, I went on an outdoor run (was going to be well under 14 miles), and I felt fine for somewhere between 2 and 3 miles (know around the total distance I was planning but not specifically) when suddenly, the middle part of my left foot starts to hurt badly. Fairly sharp pain. Normally I run through something like that, but it was bad enough that I had to limp home.
I hadn't rolled my ankle, taken awkward step or anything along those lines. I just randomly started to feel some pain when I put pressure on it that I still feel to a slightly lesser extent this morning, but only when walking around.
Has this happened to anyone else before? I figure I probably just overdid it and this was my body's way of telling me I need to take a few days off, but it was just so strange how I just randomly started feeling pain in my left foot when I was completely fine for the first two miles or so, throughout the day yesterday, and during my long treadmill run on Friday.
Is it possible I tweaked something yesterday and just didn't even realize when I tweaked it?

Sounds like plantar fasciitis

No idea what that is, but it sounds unpleasant haha

I have had plenty of issues with pain in my feet over the last 4-5 years. Sometimes just a couple days, sometimes a couple months. Nothing major though, have always ran through it.
For me, it is usually an overuse injury. Just running too much or increasing volume/intensity too quickly.
Running surface and footwear can definitely contribute. I have definitely noticed specific shoes that made my feet hurt. Usually after the midsole gets worn down after 400-600 miles. I also do a lot of running on rocky surfaces and roads which doesnt help.

Assuming the bottom of the foot, plantar fasciitis most likely.

It most likely is and you'll want to ice and stay off running for a bit. Verify with a doctor and if you have access to a pool, move your workouts to that for at least two weeks IMO.

Thank y'all for the advice! The pain has gotten slightly better today (I can at least walk without too much pain). Will continue to just go on the bike to avoid putting pressure on it.

PF should hurt as soon as you wake up, just in front of the heel. Where on the bottom of the foot does it hurt?

It honestly changes based on the moment within the day, but mainly around the center of the foot under the arch. Never really experienced anything like this, to be totally honest.

Could be a few things. PF doesn’t sound very likely, but could be. It’s lower on my list of differentials.
Without an exam, it sounds like you may have Cuboid Sybdrome. Maybe also a stress injury or stress reaction.
Nevertheless, I’d cross train for a couple weeks. Take it easy. Use some topical anti-inflammatories. If it is PF, you need to get some good insoles. Dr. Scholls has some good ones.

Interesting. Yeah, when I really look at what most people with PF have, it seems similar, but slightly different than me. You can get Cuboid Syndrome from overuse, right?

Yea PF is most common pain on the sole of our foot right in front of your heel where plantar fascia attaches. Most commonly it is pain that is the absolute worst with the first step out of bed in the morning. It too can be from overuse, but your history doesn't fit.
Cuboid Syndrome can most definitely come from overuse as well. Last case of it that I saw was in a soldier who presented after a long field training and been doing marches and what not.

Agreed

Medial or lateral mid foot? Are you a heel strike, mid foot strike or toe strike at initial contact? These variations can make a difference. If I lean to more toe striking I will develop a posterior tibialis tendinopathy on occasion. It’s a dynamic arch stabilizer so if you have inadequate arch support, flat feet, or both…it may be your culprit.

I don't have flat feet and run in Brooks Ghost shoes. When I'm running, I think the front half of my foot hits the ground at first contact. The area right in front of the arch.

You ought to see if there is a PT in your area that has a gait analyzer. There’s only one in our area. But it would be interested to see if they may be able to analyze it and offer certain insoles for running.
If you’re near Thibodaux, let me know.
