Plantar flippinitis has got worse. Was better and so ... yes you’ve guessed it I had a cheeky run. Bad Jan.

So head says rest and heart says NOOOO MUST RUN!!! Playing long game so being good, going to do my first marshalling at Parkrun on Saturday.

Stretching, icing, rolling and wearing inner soles etc. Doing as I’m told but so miss my runs.

Whittlin over, but I’m still a runner aren’t I????? 😢😢😢

Hi, honestly I feel your pain. I tried hill running at the end of May and that lead to PF in one foot. Awful and excruciating at times. I could control it with ice, rolling, stretches etc but I have to say the real improvement started after I finally went too see a podiatrist. I wish I’d gone earlier. So that might be an option? I was naughty too and tried to carry on running, I figured it hurt if I ran and it hurt if I didn’t but I’m not sure that was wise!

Yep. I’m booking into to a local sports injury clinic that I’ve been to before for my back. I’m in such a middle of ice, rollers, socks, insoles and stretches I’m totally confusing myself so need to get a plan. I just must be able to run, this is non negotiable!!! Thank you for your response x

We all end up on the IC at some point, learning how to deal with it is, um, character-building? Good on you for volunteering, just remember not to go following the runners!

Aaaarrrgghhh why don’t our bodies realise we’re helping them? If only they’d cooperate, for their own good! I don’t know about you, but I’ve found the mental discipline to hold off running to recover WAY more difficult than the physical training 🙄😂

Good luck with the sports injury clinic, and enjoy marshalling!

Thank you. I think once I have some direction I’ll feel better 😊

....but, you could go into the deep end of the swimming pool and ‘run’ in the water. That’s I got through my Achilles niggles. And I felt I was still running!
