It makes me so sad. When I first started running I jumped up in the mileage pretty quickly. What resulted, other than stronger legs, was a case of Plantar Fasciitis. I struggled with it for months before going to a foot doctor. He diagnosed me with PF and sent me to Granite State Physical Therapy. This is when I met Brian Verville, the owner, for the first time.
Over the course of several weeks (maybe 6?) Brian got me back up and running using the techniques that I will describe in this post. During this same time I also realized that my shoe choice might be another factor and began experimenting with more minimal, less cushioned and more flexible shoes.
The net result is that it went away. I wasn't sure how much was due to the PT and how much the shoe change, but all that mattered was that it was gone.
