Week 4 run 2 all was going well......

[SianSykes]

And now I can’t walk due to pain in my foot!

Run had gone well yesterday then developed foot pain a few hours later to the point it’s so sore I can barely walk.

I’m a Physio myself and think it’s possibly a stress fracture or peroneal tendinitis.

Anyone else been in a similar position and managed to get through the programme? Tried running a few years ago and again ended around four weeks in due to shin splints.

I’m comfortable with how I’m managing it RICE -and I’ll go to get diagnosis confirmed.

And in terms of prevention I felt I covered everything (glut strengthening, stretches for hamstrings and calf’s and I had trainers fitted to me following gait analysis- all prior to starting the program!

So I’m pretty frustrated to say the least!

Any hope?? Or shall I just stick to another form of exercise??

Where abouts in the foot is the pain? Could it be Plantar Faciities?

[SianSykes in reply to Millsie-J]

It’s very specific point to the base of 5th metatarsal (side of foot) so not heel area which would be the case with plantar facsciaitis

I do hope you get it sorted.
