I did 6x1200 yesterday at a little slower than 10k race pace. I used my trainers, which I dont usually do, I usually just use my trainers. Now the inside, bottom of my foot hurts. Is this just the arch sore from getting stronger or a prelude to plantar faciitis?
Im sorry, I meant I used my flats, when I usually use my trainers.
welcome to the world of plantar faciitis. It might not get any worse, or it might get progressively worse until you are practically crippled. Get to a good podiatrist (who treats runners) in your area, asap. In the meantime, ice it after running. Heat it up a little, before running; if it hurts. If it gets bad enough, get a cortisone shot, which will clear up the inflamation and buy you some time.
Damn, I hope its something else. Problem is, there is no podiatrist around here. Im in the middle of nowhere Mississippi. Ill train in my trainers tomorrow and report back. Ive been icing the thing all day, maybe thatll help.
there is a whole section on p.f. in the 'injuries section' of threads on letsrun. Typcial symptoms of pf are: hurts worse in morning, after being off feet for 7-8 hours. Will 'warm up' and seem to get better, while running in milder cases.
