I have just finished week 5 run 3 and even though I really worried about it I actually ran for 20 mins! The problem is heel pain after I have ran only my left foot, I have invested in running shoes I bought neutral ones because of my high instep but I'm constantly in agony ☹️. After researching it i think it's plantar fasciitis. Does anyone have any hints or tips to help me get over this. I am

Signed up for a half marathon in September and starting to panic... thanks

I was suffering from sore feet/heels/legs... put it down to impact pain so started running on the grass rather than the pavement at my local park. MUCH improved ever since.

I have had this since Christmas when ironically I had planned to start running. Bought insoles from Superdrug for nearly all my shoes and last week had an injection which has helped a lot. Not cured but better.
