Crampy foot

So I noticed the last time I ran, my right foot was feeling crampy. Not sure if it is a stretching thing or what the issue was. It did work itself out about half way through my run, but it was not a fantastic feeling until then. Anyone have this issue or know how to prevent it for my next run?

How's your crampy foot? Found a solution yet?0

I'm not sure about crampy, but my left foot tends to go numb when i'm running - it's a combo of my foot being slightly too wide for my shoe and Raynard's i think.
I have heard that rolling a tennis ball under your foot is supposed to be good for cramps and loosening the muscles on the bottom of the foot, might be worth a try?0 -
It hasn't been too bad, I'm definitely going to try the tennis ball idea if it acts up again. :happy:0

You'll have to let us know if it works! I think its probably the same concept as those foam rollers that are all the range at the moment...0

A tennis ball is quite soft, I have a foam roller for the major muscles and hard massage balls that I can use for feet, and for pressure point work around shoulders and the like.
It's the same principle as stretching out the major muscles, your foot is a fairly complex web of muscles that you don't naturally stretch as part of your routine, so rolling out over a ball will help do that.0
