I am training for IMC though may be ready to throw the towel in.
I had heel pain show up over a matter of a couple days three weeks ago while i was out of town on a conference. I spent two days in my not so practical work shoes and ran on a hillier than usual route. Since then i have significantly cut back on my biking and running and have continued to swim. The pain is worst after i run and when i wake in the morning.
I am wondering how others have continued to train with plantar fasciitis. I have significant heel pain, which is either attributed to tight calves or plantar fasciitis or something else not yet determined. Massage seemed to relieve it a bit, i am trying to get into an acupunturist and i have already seen the chiropractor. Everything i read suggests i stop running and continue to swim and bike, but i find it is irritated on the bike and wondered about the swim as i find the calf muscle is shortened when swimming for extended periods and kick off of the wall.
Any tips or experience would be helpful.
thx.
