Week 2,struggling with feet!

[Frontrowunion2]

Just starting week 2 day 1 tomorrow, getting horrendous pain in the tendon at bottom of my feet, any tips? Shoes?

Can it be plantar fascitis?

Have rest.

If it doesn't recover soon, see a physiotherapist.

I suggest you do not run until this is looked at or you recover.

[Elisabeth3 Graduate]

Have you sorted this pain? How are you getting on?

[Frontrowunion2 in reply to Elisabeth3]

Pain is still there in parts, sometimes it moves to my ankles/lower calves, I'll stick with it x

[Elisabeth3 Graduate in reply to Frontrowunion2]

Have you seen a professional?

GP, physio, trainer?

[Frontrowunion2 in reply to Elisabeth3]

Not yet, I had my gait professionally measured etc, im hoping it will sort itself out now rather than needing physio

[Elisabeth3 Graduate in reply to Frontrowunion2]

Okay. 😀

There's a pre-run dynamic stretch. Unfortunately, I don't know what exactly that is.

After running stretch is a must.

Hope you are still managing to run? I suffer from tendon issues too and find that tea towel and ice pack held to the sore area for 20 minutes repeated a couple of time helps a lot. Also just running a little slower. Still running after a year from graduating!

Hya, yeah I'm currently on week 4,run 3, got my feet and gait analysis done, new trainers, I'm still having foot pain but not as bad, I'll plough thru it, cheers for the comments

You could also take a look at the NHS website for plantar fasciitis stretches, they really helped me last year when I could hardly walk with it! Hope it feels better soon!
