Yesterday I ran slowly, in heart rate zone 2, up a mountain during my vacation. Slowly I noticed that my left food started to hurt. A little later I decide to turn around. With some pain, I ran back. I still needed to go 6 km back but the pain was not to bad so I just run.
Back at the campground I could see that probably a proximale falangen is broken. Last year I broke one of the metatarsalia in my other foot, so I know how it feels
Normally I run in flat terain, so I was happy I could run in the mountains. I do not understand why it happened though. I only climbed about 330 meters (1000 feet) in 6 km which took about 1 hour (climb only). And 2 days before I did about 460 meters climb in about 5km which I mostly walked as it was a steep and difficult trail. I was wearing vifo five finger Vtrails in both cases.
Could these 2 climbs cause so much stress to break one of my bones in my foot? I am running on vifo five fingers since 2 years. And zero drop shoes at work. The last 3 months I am running about 100 km per month, mostly really flat (on vff). I did a 23km with 600 m meters climbing a month ago. So I do not feel it was something extreme that I was doing yesterday.
Anyone an idea why my bone could break? My partner thinks I should throw away my vff and buy some shoes with more protection...
