Hey Folks,
Last Sunday I did my long run and my heel was killing me later in the day. Went to a podiatrist and was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. I have been going to ART and it's helping. I didn't run at all last week to give it time to heal.
Today I ran for the first time, I biked 60 miles and then ran 3 miles. It felt moderate, but still uncomfortable. I am concerned that it could be pretty painful doing 13 miles. I have been running in Newton Gravity for about 1.5 half years, I have custom arthritics. Today while running in my Newtons I definitely felt like they could be part of the problem. I'm thinking of switching shoes to give a little more cushion and support
Any general recommendation when shoe shopping tomorrow?
- Cushioning? I would assume I want a lot? Correct?
- Heel to toe drop? I would guess I want a 10mm+? Correct?
This is so frustrating to be tackling a new injury and shoe change 2 weeks before a race. ugh!
Thanks in advance!
