And, to answer your questions:
I've started having foot pain after I started to run more than 30 km on a regular basis, training for a marathon. I also had severe foot pain from over-doing hill repeats when I was training for short-distance runs a couple of years ago. I do not consider it 'normal' and I am currently working to improve my foot strength. (See the "barefoot running" thread for more info.)
Foot pain comes in lots of different ways. It could also be related to your shoes, which you don't tell us anything about... And also, how long does the pain last for? How intense on a scale of 10?
It will not go away if your shoes are inappropriate, if you increase mileage and/or intensity too fast, if your form is problematic, etc. I find that some new runners have a tendency to jump really high, wasting a lot of energy and forcing their joints to absorb a much bigger impact than necessary.Is it a newb thing with running? Will it go away?
Your mileage may vary! I hope you can solve this because running is fun!
