Plateau in running

Could anyone helpe out with running shoes... my feet burn when I run on the road with the so called running shoes?
Sounds like you bought your normal size in running shoes, i.e., too small. Go up half or one size. It allows for better ventilation throughout the shoe. And I will assume you aren't fitted either since a shoe fitting would have identified this. So do that too.
My problem is not with the size of the shoe.it is simply that my feet gets a burning sensation when I walk on the road. I would like to know how do I get the right sole for running on road

He means, what surface are you running on and what is the temperature of the surface?
The burning sensation, unless you are running along surfaces that tend to get incredibly hot, will not affect the soles of your trainers. The burning in your feet is more than likely attributable to other factors, size of trainers being one of them actually, hence why the poster somewhere above suggested slightly bigger trainers.0 -
I'm working towards the same goal you are, 5km in 30 (currently 33:04) and started from the same place of not running at all. I've found that my heart rate at 5km "race pace" (using the term very loosely) is about 154 and I'm wrecked at the end of it. Dropping that to 7.5km/hr I kept going for 6km yesterday in 48 minutes and only had to stop because my hip was killing me (feel on it while skiing), my heart rate was around the 143 mark rising to about 150 towards the end.
I know proper runners are more concerned with intervals and whatnot but for me just running longer distance at lower speed if nothing else makes a faster shorter run seem more doable.0 -
Go to a running store and get fitted. I had a problem with one of my toes going numb followed by pain in my calf. Went and got the proper size and type of shoe and the problems stopped.0

Well, it's not the road unless you are running where it's excruciatingly hot, so that narrows it down to two things.
Shoes or socks.
Try different socks to see if the behavior changes. Get some good synthetic running socks. You don't need to spend $15 on a pair, just make sure the are NOT cotton. If you still feel like your feet are on fire, then it's your shoes. If you change the shoes too and it's still happening, see your doctor.0
