JoJoB Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I’ve always wanted to be a runner but always had immediate shin and lower leg pain. I’ve have just gone and been properly fitted in new running shoes. I’m starting the first week of C25K and still having the same issue. It goes away when I stop running and my muscles don’t stay sore. It’s only when I’m running. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabapple Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Have you thought about trying Minimalist Shoes? Regular shoes have a lift in the heel even if it isn't much. It's possible that could be an issue. I don't know, as I am not a doctor, but it might be worth checking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoB Posted May 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it. I just bought a pair of Mizumo’s that I was properly fitted for. I really hope that does the trick. Crabapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabapple Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I hope it does, too. If you are in the habit of going barefoot, wearing flip-flops, or sandals that don't have any kind of lift in the heel then wearing typical running shoes would put a stress on your legs. If your new shoes don't help and if wearing minimalist shoes doesn't help, you might try doing an internet search on the problems you're having, and you might consider going to a sports doctor to see if they have any ideas.
