Pain in feet
I was a half marathon runner. I was not running for close a year now. I started 2 months back now. Now when I started hitting 15km mark, next day I am getting pain in my feet. Spot of pain changes but nothing observed abnormal in that location of feet. A take a rest for a day and then run. Again I get pain in some other spot.
