Back in November/December started knocking up some km's on foot, just walking, to drop some of the beer I drink. November I did nearly 80km's in the month, December a bit over 60km's, so 15-20k's per week. Nothing massive, but a lot more than what I has been doing previously.
Bit after Xmas started to notice the right foot was a bit sore, into late Jan/early Feb the foot got worse, particularly first thing in the morning, can barely put weight on it, got the better of me a fortnight ago when I couldn't get out of bed without using a crutch to get moving.
Ultrasounds, GP, plantar fascia or as the doctor called it, "First step tendonitis"
It can get ******.
I understand your pain as I've struggled with a bit of this recently aswell, due to overuse on Tuesday nights bowling at cricket training and then running around in my footy boots at footy training. Getting out of bed and standing up to get going on Wedneday mornings has been tough, little bit of stretching and moving my foot has helped it but it has been very sore. It's my right foot which is my front foot when bowling, my cricket shoes are quite worn out, Ive completely worn down the innersole where my heel has been sore. I recently bought new cricket shoes which should fix my issue.
I still can't believe how so many guys can get away with just wearing runners when playing cricket and bowling, especially guys quicker and heavier on their feet than me and not have any foot/heel/ankle issues.
