Do you run on same side of street all the time? She streets slope can give you pain in the pattern you're describing.

you don't think sometime a few hundred thousand years ago in the history of human evolution that the knees started to evolve to allow humans to chase animals?

Yes, I do, but I don't always run the same courses so I'm not sure if that's the issue. I also get the foot pain when I'm doing plyometric lunges and other jumping exercises like that

If you always run on the right side your right foot has to invert and your left foot has to evert to accommodate the slope. Explains why you have pain on opposite sides of your feet.

Rest for 2 weeks then return to running only on flat surfaces would be my advice.

I promise this will work Whatever your current pace is do the following. To make my point I'll use a 6mph pace Run for an hour every other day Start running at 6mph in treadmill After .3 miles crank it to 7 After another .1 back down to 6 After .2 up to 7.2 After .1 back to base speed of 6 Keep doing this for the entire hour. If you can only run 5mph then do the same intervals only at a slower speed You will get faster, you will lose fat. In the army we called this running fartlinks h Once you have gotten faster start at a higher pace and keep going. Promise it will work. I'm back up to 8mph after being at only 5 in January Used to run 10 in my paratrooper days.

Loosen your laces some, could fix the shin splint problem.

And never run in nikes. Saucony, mizuno, brooks,etc.

Satchel Paige began pitching in professional baseball in the 1920s. He logged countless innings in the Negro Leagues and barnstorming teams often pitching every day. His career ended in Major League Baseball in the 1960s. One of his 10 secrets of longetivity was "avoid running at all costs".

Sister Madonna Buder (84 years old) has competed in 45 Ironmans (multiple finishes over 80 years old) and more than 325 triathlons all over the world. This year she completed the New Orleans 70.3 (Half Ironman) course in a little over 8 1/2 hours.

She thinks Satchel Paige is a pussy.
