R Foot, Plantar Fasciitis
2009-12-19 – 2012-05-15
Grade: 4
Sore base of foot after training last week. Can't run now after the race. Resting it over Christmas.
Coming up to a year now (just upgraded from severity 2 to severity 4 - out for season!). Still sore after exercising. I can cycle at least. I think it is plantar fasciitis which is known to take around a year to heal. I think it is starting to get better.
Over 2 years and it might be on the mend. Lots of massaging, stretching and icing seems to have helped. Just done my first race (not including some walk/jog orienteering events in early 2012). Not quite there but I can do more running now than I have been able to for 2 years.
Cause - switching to road rather than track when I finished uni.
No more road running ever!
