You know that bruised like heel pain I mentioned? The one that was there for a few days before BM then went whilst I was off for 3wks? Well I am worried it's plantar facilitis.
Whilst at camp I noticed it so ruled out the "must have trodden on something" conclusion but it wasn't bad so I didn't worry about it. Well I mentioned it to the massage lady and she mentioned tight calves and stretching.
Yesterday I noticed it a bit at the start of my run but not really after the first 1-2m, but once I was home, showered and changed it was hurting and worse than I have had before (note after BM was fine!). Last night was worse still as I was sat down watching TV. It's like a muscle that tightens when not moved then loosens with use.
Having had 3wks off and NSAIDS and it coming back I don't think rest and drugs is the cure. It's still with me today (so no recovery run) but not as bad as last night.
So I have been trawling through some threads on RW etc to find an answer. These mainly suggest support insoles so I may have a look in Boots tomorrow and try those before I venture to a pod and spend loadsa money!
I have flat feet and low arches and pronate (use suacony 3D grid hurricanes which have about 150m in them) so any suggestions for cures and how to proceed with training would be really appreciated.
I really hope it isn't this as I know Wild Will has had lots of problems with his hence why I am looking now rather than leaving it any longer.
Right off to sulk and read my "how to run injury free" book!! hahahahaha

Freeze a disposable plastic cup full of water. When its frozen peel off the plastic and roll your foot over the ice.
Calf stretches are good as well.
I tried the heel inserts from boots, cost about £20. They were all right, though I did occasionally get a sore back.
What kind of footwear to you wear indoors? I've got a cheap pair of Tesco Sandals with a shaped cork footbed. They helped a lot.
Picking marbels up with your toes and moving back and forth from one pile to another
Keep a frozen water bottle in the freezy and roll back and forth onder foot to reduce swelling
Ibroffen gell
and the odd NSAIDS
Hope I have caught this soon as I hate time off and having just had 3 wks on sofa watch more time would kill any fitness that has survived!
