Hi there
I been into running in minimalist shoes since the spring of 2011. I began running in merrell trail glove. I did that as well as training in ordinary running shoes and quickly switched to saucony kinvara as my most "cushioned shoe" Those where the shoes i used in my first marathon in November last year on gravel forest roads- I had to do it the year i turned 40 - and the focus was to have i nice day, which I did in a nice and comfortable 4 hours 10 min.
After that i more or less switched to minimalist shoes completly while running between 120 and 140 km a month ( in merrell trial glove, VVB neo or neo trail) In Feb. I ran my first ½ marathon inVVB neo trail shoes. No tarmac on the route but trails with gravel, some sand and on the beach - in subzero conditions. It was a social event, so the speed was according to that.
since the beginning of 2012 i have had some top of foot pain, but strangely it has been while NOT running. I wear boots at work and have gone one full size op to see if that was the reason to the problem and tried to lace them different. It helped a little but did not solve the problem. Neither did 2 weeks without running. So i have continued to run less than 10 km since the pain afterwards is worse after long slow runs ? ! and a lot of intervals or tempo runs.
Now I have turned to my doctor, but minimalist running is not very common over here
and the first thing he sad was: You pronate, so you have to have orthotics he agreed to have my foot X rayed- it did not show anything broken - so tomorrow I am going to have it MR scanned.
Is there anybody out there, who have any sugestions to what the problem can be ?
