Outside of foot pain

Google is pretty handy in these situations.

Could be a stress fracture? I don't know I'm not a doctor but see if the symptoms match.

In the meantime, you should cross train.

Best of luck.

May be something as simple as a tendon strain. Are your shoes worn? Ice it twice a day, take some Ibuprofen and try and keep off it as much as possible.

Are you in Southeastern PA? No creep factor here, just the thunderstorm and date of the race match.

It may be the peroneal longus and peroneal brevis. I managed to tear both of them on an easy run a while back. And it just so happened to be two days before Districts.

What you're describing sounds exactly what I experienced. No pain unless you're walking.

Hey, try running on your toes and see if it hurts any less. That would help narrow this down. Report back.

Also, go to your trainer. He (or she) will be able to try and figure out what it is. When I tore those tendons my trainer came in and wrapped up my foot/ankle to help replace the function of those tendons (they stabilize the ankle/foot). I was able to run, but it hurt like Hail.

I agree with Crazedseepies. I tore my peroneal (dont remember which one) tendon during a race over the summer and what youre describing sounds exactly like what I experienced. Pain on the outside when pressure is applied but nothing when the foot is off the ground. Definitely go to your trainer to get it checked out right away and get treatment. I tried running on it without saying anything and that ended up costing me 3 months of training..

I've had pain there twice from peroneal tendonitis at the insertion point into the foot. Each time it took about a week of cross-training to heal. Excruciating to walk and run but no pain touching it. Was able to do the Alter-G at 70-80% body weight before I had fully returned to running, after about five days.

In my case, both times it was because I had extra support on the outside of my shoe that I didn't need. That support was pushing me onto the outside of my feet, First time I was wearing overly supportive shoes I had just started wearing Superfeet to fix my plantar fasciitis. Getting rid of my Superfeet ensured that the problem didn't return.

I also had limited range of motion in my big toe joint, and fixing that let me push off the right part of my foot, preventing me from rolling onto the outside of my foot.

Good luck, whatever it is.

Sorry, I'm tired from a workout, this should read:

"That support was pushing me onto the outside of my feet. First time, I was wearing overly supportive shoes. Second time, I had just started wearing Superfeet to fix my plantar fasciitis. Getting rid of my Superfeet ensured that the problem didn't return."

OP? How did it go?
