Haven't ran in over 18 months

Due to pantar fasciitis I haven't ran for over 18 months.

Earlier this year I tried shockwave therapy which eased the pain by about 15%

Almost two weeks ago I managed to get a steroid injection. The doctor who performed the injection said it should take about two weeks to see any difference.

Well after about a week I noticed the difference, hardly any pain when getting out of bed in a morning. a few days ago I was out walking for 30-40 minutes. Usually this would result in pain the following day however this time it hasn't.

I'm planning to restart my C25K next week.

Wish me luck

Great to hear that the treatment has worked. Just take it really easy as you get back into it. Listen to your body. Wishing you a wonderful and pain-free easing back in. Enjoy.
