On my run yesterday and today, near the end of the run I got some pain in my foot. It was on my left foot. The pain was right on my arch, a couple inches in. It felt like the tendon, or whatever it is there, was being stretched.
It got better today and didn't hurt afterwards. I'm just wondering what it is. I've been icing, heating, and massaging it. Any help? Need more description? Thanks.
its plantar fasciitis probably, its usually caused when the calf has excessive strain, which pulls and seperates from the plantar fasc. have you run a long workout in spikes? if your shoes don't flex well (are support shoes) and you have a high arch nuetral footsrike that causes it also. best way to cure is just ice a lot, change your shoes if they're old or stiff, and run flater runs until it feels better. it will flare up again if you aren't careful.
I second the vote for PF.
Third the PF.
Get a tennis ball. When you watch TV, roll your foot arch over the ball and stretch out all those tendons.
Have had PF problems before, this feels a little different but it makes sense. I've been using a golf ball to work it out. But I will keep icing and massaging, take a day off and see how it feels Wednesday.
Thanks.
