Plantar Fasciitis
Posted: 10-04-06 09:47am

Hi all,

although I haven't had it officially diagnosed through a doctor, i'm quite positive that i've developed plantar fasciitis. Assuming that is my condition, I understand that the best way to alleviate the symptoms are through rest, stretching, and icing. However, i'm in a position where I need to run 5 miles a day. There are no alternatives for me, I cannot use other forms of cardio exercise - I must run between 4-5 miles per day on average, as I will be starting a new job which requires me to do so.

My question is this: how can I deal with plantar fasciitis and still continue to run?

Thanks in advance

Pain is a symptom. I would curtail the running for a bit and read the egoscue method of health through motion by pete egoscue. Get it at the library or cheap used.
