foot numbness

I have been using the 10k for pink app running on an elliptical machine. I am on week 12. My left toes start to go numb around 2.5 miles and then numbness slowly moves into the ball of my foot if I don't make a concerted effort to wiggle my toes around. Most the time my right foot toes will also start to go numb closer to 3 miles. I read that it could be too small shoes so I got new bigger shoes which were fitted at a running store. This did not help. I read this could be something much more serious requiring surgery. Yikes! Any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you.

This always happens to me when I'm on an elliptical. So I avoid the machine all together. It's the only machine this happens to me, I use my same shoes for every other exercise

Could be something going on with your circulation. Since you've already tried getting better shoes, I suggest 1) try a workout on the treadmill and see if the same thing happens, and 2) go back to the shoe store where you got fitted to see what they might suggest. If neither of those work, go visit your doc to rule out anything serious. I had this happen to me before while doing some at-home workouts and it was my shoes :\ Hope you get it figured out soon! Keep us posted.

I have the same problem and I was diagnosed with tarpal tunnel syndrome. It's like carpal tunnel of the feet. It's a nerve issue. I'm not saying that's what you have but it's something to look into.

I have peripheral neuropathy and taker Gabapentin for it. You might want to check with your doctor. Mine is a leftover from diabetes. You might also check with your local runnign store and look into inserts as well as proper running socks. Belega Hidden Comfort socks sare like walking on a cloud.
