Both feet or just one? If it was just one, I might suggest a stress fracture, but both would make that unlikely.
Any Runners On Here??

For the craic I went out y'day and ran the 5km park run course they are starting up near me next month. Pathetically slow, in fact slower, than my normal 10k pace, which was as expected. I became somewhat alarmed when the Kent and Sussex Air Ambulance touched down in the middle of the park hard up against my route, I didn't think I looked that bad. But I got round with no ill effects and actually enjoyed the run and felt I was running well within myself, and ended without discomfort which, given the amount of illness I've had this year and recently was unexpected.
But the route... I'm not sure they've thought it through, on large sections it will have to be no overtaking, unless spikey elbows are deployed, as the path is pretty narrow and windy so if member of the public are coming the other way... the "splat!" potential is enormous.

You sound like a similar speed to me, maybe a bit quicker over 10K. What sort of half marathon time do you have? I am pretty steady year in year out. I probably need to do speed work to get faster, but i'm getting old now so my motivation is fading a little.

With those symptons i'd see a physio / gp.

Hmmm, just the left foot really, the right foot has a different issue. Wonder if an x-ray would show up something. I was hoping this was just shoe related !

Well, my training for my half marathon in September has stalled somewhat...Mostly due to uselessness to be honest. Went out yesterday with a mate and managed 10k in 1hr6mins (I know, not exactly lightning, but better than I was expecting!). However I seem to have a recurrent knee problem - its basically fine while running, although might start a mild ache after about 5k, but afterwards is very painful when walking and going up and down stairs. The pain is on the outside of the knee, maybe a little more to the back than the side. I know I underpronate when running - no idea how to solve this, already have neutral shoes etc., but not sure if the recent knee thing might be more related to tight hamstrings and calves? Whatever it is, it's very annoying! I'm definitely not overtraining, only managed to get out a handful of times this month.

A few years ago I ran the Barns Green Half near you, have you done that one, great race.

Yeah, donkey's years ago. 10k has become my max distance in recent years lest I stop being a "fun runner" and start taking it seriously. With a local 10k the whole thing, door-to-door, can be over in 3 - 4 hours. But this year has been a flop, running wise, thus far.

'Trunce' 8 (out of 9) earlier this evening
Very low river, even managed to run most of the two hills - on the bits where I normally have to walk!, but still a poor run
Official results are out; 72/234 @ 33:19
I think we turned out 15 club members!!

21.1km, or the half-distance, covered again today and knocked off a further two minutes and some from my PB. Got soaked and after a few days of snivels wondered whether it was the best of ideas? Some of those pesky cyclists held me up getting through a barrier and I really, really had to stop myself from pinching an apple from one of Thatchers cider orchards. It'd only have upset me' tummy.
Time in was 1h 55' 25s. Closely followed with a self-massage with the roller and a jacuzzi at the gym!

Good work, Monsieur R. I really need to do at least a half-distance run this weekend, seeing as it's only just over two weeks to the marathon. Training is not going well - haven't run at all for nearly three weeks! (Got round the 600k audax the weekend before last in pretty decent time though, so at least base fitness is good.) I had intended to have a 'dry' August to help my preparations but I've been obliged to attend several well-lubricated social events recently, so that's not exactly going to plan either.

Reviewing my options after September. Last year I decided to run at least one half a month, so far so good, with just one to go, none have been 'events' just me and a route and for several it has been the treadmill on the oil platform, now that is mind numbingly tedious, but had to be done. For the next 12 months I may do similar with a view to covering the full distance at least once. Perhaps committing to a proper event will keep my resolve. The cycling really takes priority though.

Blimey - that must take some willpower!
