I have recently ran a 5K with no foot problems but ran a 10K last Sunday and took Monday off from running as a rest day. Tuesday I did a 3 mph walk for about 45 minutes. I went to run on Wednesday and the whole top of my right foot started to ache about a mile into my jog. It feels as if all of the tendons "siezed" up. I've had this type of pain a little before and loosened my shoe laces, which usually helped. Nothing helped this. I walked barefoot on the treadmill for a couple more minutes and the pain did not let up. I ended up going to the chiropractor on Friday and he popped my ankle back in - said my pelvis was out which could have totally changed my stride. This makes sense. However, I cannot get rid of the pain in my tendons except by taking ibuprofen. I'm staying away from wearing flip-flops or any type of shoe that I have to work to keep on (if that makes sense).
Does anyone have ideas for stretches or other ideas for this? I really want to get back into running since I've just started doing races. I'm frustrated by this so I've been doing pilates and upper body weights because I'm still trying to lose weight.
