Advice please!

I hope you all enjoyed a fabulous weekend, whether you were running, resting or simply enjoying a break from work.

I have taken the advice from forum members on here and been on the IC all weekend nursing my painful left foot. I have been wearing compression socks, exercising, and using a frozen water bottle to massage the arch and heel of my foot. Thankfully, the pain is starting to diminish and I am walking around with ease and very little discomfort. I was due to do my W9R1 this morning but have delayed it, so that my foot has an extra day to recover.

Do you think it would be okay if I did a run tomorrow (providing I continue to be pain free and take it easy?)

I have also ordered a night splint to wear during the night when needed.

Advice very much appreciated!

I’d advise testing it on a short jog, or a very gentle start to your run tomorrow to do that on the fly.

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. 🤗

I am working tomorrow, so will assess how my foot is during the day and perhaps go for a gentle jog later in the evening if I continue to be pain free.

I agree with UnfitNoMore

Just test it out with a gentle short jog, being totally ready to stop if it doesn't feel good.

You have done all the right things and let's hope it pays off.

Take care.

Thank you IannodaTruffe! I will take it easy and if I have any pain will listen to my body and stop! 🤗
