I seem to be getting pain on the ball of my foot almost between two toes. It only hurts bad when I walk about 15 minutes after I run until a couple hours later. It doesn't seem to slow me down and gives me minimal pain when I am running. I am puzzled about it because it hurts slightly when I walk-not very painful but annoying. Possibly it is the shoes-I only train in spikes for starts-could it be serious?

Hi Dave,

It's very hard to say what it could be or whether or not it's serious until you get it looked at. X-rays would most likely determine if there is something structural going on. I had a foot problem that I tried running through for over a year, only to find out that I may have run through a stress fracture... I got orthotics because of it and have been much better since.

Hi Dan,
Here's an update: I took three days off, bought some new shoes and my foot felt fine. I also thought I was getting shin splints, but when I ran in my new shoes there was no pain. I have no complaints except that I did a test race and was considerably slower in the 400. I have decided to shift my training more towards May or so. I did one mile(5:50).Then I did 5x150m hill sprints. they were so challenging that I felt horrible afterwards. Today I am going to do 5x300m-fly the first 60m then relax and fly the last 80m or so.

I'm glad to hear the pain went away! Smile Shoes and rest can make a huge difference.

You time trialed a 400 immediately after returning from the layoff? That could explain you not feeling well, plus trying to run fast in new shoes... I wouldn't make too much of a single workout after a near-injury. Sometimes it takes a few runs to shake the lead out of the legs.

I have no pain in the foot. This is good. I start my outdoor training tomorrow after resting 3 days for some of my midterms. Do you have any tips for the transition from indoors to outdoors training? i want to make sure I don't work too hard, as 200s and 300s look shorter outdoors. I am also worried about training in the wind as it can get quite windy on the track in my town in the early spring. Is this a good thing?

I've never run indoors, so I can't really offer you any advice there. Oregon basically has a year-round spring season...

I don't much care for running into the wind, but I figure it can only make you stronger. You can treat it as resistance training or speed assistance, depending on which way you're running.
