treeduck Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I was just diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and will spend a few weeks treating it...no running for a long while. :(I've had that, it took quite a while to completely clear up, if I'm honest it took a couple of years. Let me just check your symptoms; do you feel pain after you've been sitting for a while, when you get up? And does your heel area feel really weird like something is moving around in there and it feels kind of mushy when you walk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from that, there´s some tingling in different parts of the foot, but nothing much. I started phisio this week, and two sessions in, I´m feeling much better. At home I´m also using an elastic band to stretch and lots of ice on the sole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 The good news though is now it's as good as ever and I can bounce up and down, run, jump, keep going for hours with no reoccurence of the injury. So you'll be fine Rod. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I hope so...one week without running and I've already gained weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I dunno if you guys have had any experience with accupuncture, but I decided to stop the phisio for a few days and tried accupuncture - ONE session in and I´m feeling 80% better! The doctor says that with two more sessions I´ll be ready to hit the tracks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I was just diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and will spend a few weeks treating it...no running for a long while. :( I had that a couple years back. I got these inserts for my sneakers at a sporting goods store, Good Feet or something like that. Worked like a charm. It took about a year and a half to go away completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got those inserts too...and I had this exact same injury before, in 2013, I believe. After while it just faded, and it´s happening already this time. I´m managing 08km runs every second day. There´s still some pain, but nothing unbearable. I´ll take a break at the end of April when we´ll be settling in Toronto, so I assume I´ll have no pain by mid year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're actually Superfeet. I used the green ones. It was really only a problem first thing in the morning when I stepped on the floor after getting out of bed. I never had a problem running once I had the Superfeet in my shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney_rebel Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Finished the marathon on the weekend. 3:11:36.6. A whole 4 minutes faster than my debut last fall, and an over 10 minute Boston Qualifier. I'm happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hey BArney, who do you train with in Canada? I joined one of the Running Room clinics - the Rosedale one - and I´m training for the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon in October 22nd. Should be an interesting run. I´ll do 29km next Sunday.

Did you move to Canada? You work not too far from me. I am with Running Room too, but north of the city. I am running that race too, but I am not aiming for a PR but pacing a friend. My target time is 4:30ish. BTW, I got into Boston!! Let's hook up. Send me a PM. We can go on a long run some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I run, but mostly on the treadmill. I dated a guy who ran marathons. I also dated a guy who played in the NHL, an Olympic athlete, a cricket player, and a guy who was on my university's Masters swim team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
