  • Top of foot pain, either side of the main 'ridge' on the foot - anyone banished it? Run a lot and never experienced it, but it recently flared up when I upped mileage a bit, took a couple weeks off but even now as I gradually ramp it up again it still lingers.

    EDIT: pretty sure its Extensor tendonitis, and would love some foot stretching/strengthening ideas that have worked for others

    I have had what I think was extensor tendonitis. Never had a diagnosis or saw anyone but I self diagnosed after a bit of googling and realising my shoes and foot were in alignment (laces, edge of tongue, and the tendon running down the top of the foot to the big toe). I rested for a bit until the pain was gone and stopped doing my shoes so tight and never had an issue since. I now run in different shoes and rotate a couple of pairs too so that may help.
