Marathons and Bunions….A Good Combination for Runners?

October 16, 2022 / Bunion Bootie / Blog
Running with Bunions

We all know that running can be tough on our feet. That’s why it’s important to choose the right running shoes to help protect our feet from the impact of running. But did you know that the type of running shoes you choose can also affect your risk of developing bunions?

Bunions are a common foot condition that can cause pain and discomfort. They occur when the big toe points outward, away from the rest of the toes. This can cause the joint at the base of the big toe to become enlarged and protrude from the side of the foot.

Bunions are more common in women than men, and they tend to run in families. They can also be caused by wearing ill-fitting shoes, such as high heels or shoes that are too narrow.

If you have bunions, you’re not alone. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, about 35 percent of Americans over the age of 65 have bunions.

There are several things you can do to help prevent bunions, including:

· Choose shoes that fit properly. Avoid shoes that are too tight or too narrow.

· Wear shoes with a wide toe box. This will allow your toes to move freely and reduce pressure on the big toe.

· Don’t wear high heels. If you must wear heels, make sure they’re not higher than two inches.

· Stretch your feet regularly. This will help keep the muscles and tendons around your big toe flexible.

· Use bunion pads or splints. These can help reduce pressure on the big toe and ease pain.

If you already have bunions, there are several treatment options available. These include:

· Wearing shoes that fit properly and provide adequate support.

· Using bunion pads, splints, or other forms of support.

· Exercising to stretch and strengthen the muscles and tendons around the big toe.

· Undergoing surgery to correct the deformity.

 

For runners with bunions, training for a marathon can be a daunting task. There are a few things that you can do to make the training process a bit easier on yourself. First, make sure that you are wearing the right shoes. This means shoes that fit well and provide good support. You may also want to consider wearing orthotics to help support your feet and prevent further injury. Second, be sure to stretch and warm up properly before each run. This will help to prevent injuries and keep your muscles loose. Finally, don’t be afraid to take breaks when you need to. If you start to feel pain, take a few minutes to rest and ice your feet.

If you follow these tips, you should be able to train for a marathon without too much trouble. Just remember to listen to your body and take things slowly at first. With a little bit of effort, you’ll be crossing that finish line in no time!
