Hi. I've been starting to run in the ASICS gel tiger paw, but I have been dealing with very sore arches, especially early in the AM.
I've been doing 3-4 miles to start off on the roads, should I drop down a bit to even 1-2 miles (akin to Henry Marsh) when I begin this transition?
Thanks.
the miles aren't the problem.
the tiger paw doesn't support the arch too well. you should go to a running store place and get another insole, one the supports your arch.
What were you running in previously? DO NOT screw around with the plantar fascia. Stretch your calves frequently. Do you spend your non-running time in low heeled shoes? This should be the start of your transition.
