For the past few years I have been suffering from severe cramping of my arches when I sprint… I have been told it was due to having fairly high arches so trainers have just taped them… anyone got any input on this or a similar situation???
If you could provide us with more info:
- What kind of shoes are you sprinting in?
- What kind of surface are you running on - hard or soft?
- What kind of sprint volume are you undertaking - per workout?
- What are you doing on your off days (i.e. jogging on concrete, massive depth jumps, etc.)?
- Have you had your calves worked on by a massage therapist lately?
I run in mainly nike shoes(Nike Zoom Rivals) but i have just ordered asics cyberflash, the surface is fairly soft, my volume is only like 300m’s at the max right now. my days off I dont really do much try to rest and relax. I give myself ice massages on my lower legs every day and soak my feet in ice water for about 15 min… also my senior year in high school i fractured 2 of the joints where your toes connect to ur foot (balls?)
The only time it really happens is when im compete 
i think this might be due to the intense pressurse put on my feet durring racing
