Hey everyone
i had plantar faciitis last year for 6 months and "cured" it with Hokas, more trail running (less road running), strapping, deep heat, and calf raises, and anything else i could think of.
i just read Eric's book and started the foot strength work, and working on my cadence, and the PF is coming back. admittedly i have been training for a marathon as well and my kms are up at the moment.
i wonder if the PF was never really healed, and all i have been doing this year is running flat footed so my arch doesnt have to engage. and now that i am trying to run faster to get my cadence up and move more to forefoot running the arch is now having to engage and i am realising how weak it is. my right foot is fine - very strong on my forefoot doing Eric's exercises. but i cant sustain them on my left foot for the same length of time.
any suggestions? maybe foot work or marathon training, but not both at the same time?
