Anyone have any advice for my problem. Up to around 16km cross country runs now but the last week or so my one heel has been quite sore. Its not the underneath part but the 'side' of my heel (actually the inside side!) I don't know if its from jumping around on rocks or if I am over doing things (but otherwise I feel fine) or if its because i have been doing a few extra km's on the tar lately.

Anyone else suffer with this? I only really feel it after leaving for a run. With normal walking, cycling etc it isn't really noticeable.

Heel might just be a bit bruised from the extra mileage and impact. If you can only feel it on the run it shouldn't be anything too serious like Plantar.  Maybe just make sure you rest your feet adequately (elevate and ice).

Does this look applicable to you? (Hopefully not)

If so, then its Plantar Fasciitis, do calf stretches and ice your feet after a run.

My pain is more or less where the mark is in the image. IMage is supposed to be from a heel spur but I dont think (hope) that is what I have. I am taking a week off from running and will see how it feels on Sunday for a little walk about for a few km's...why is it as soon as you start to make progress and feel as though all the effort is finally paying out, you end up with an injury!

In fact the pain is a little higher up than the mark in the image.

Check out achilles bursitis. An easy tell is that the heel has less discomfort when you aren't wearing shoes.

Swiss. I was looking at your Marathon graph you posted and your HR seemed very low. Do you have a naturally low HR? or was your fitness level higher than your leg strength. I think you said your legs ran out of juice?

 

Here is my HR from the marathon I did the other day (it did have more elevation than yours..but i dont think that is a major factor)

remember feet are pretty resilient..If it is affecting your stride when running then it is an injury..otherwise plough through and stick your feet in a bucket of ice water after runs

I'm pretty sure Swiss is very fit (and a little older), but the legs are still short on conditioning relative to the cardio. I ran that Wanderers 21km pretty hard for me, ave 161bpm, max 173bpm - not a chance my legs could sustain that effort for another 21km (probably not even 5 more km's in fact)... may cardio probably could though.

I will just have to shuffle the beers about....

yeah - that is what i was thinking.... which is a good sign for him as then he can get his leg strength up and easily convert that 4:30 to a 3:40 or 3:50 or 4:00

Everyone has different HR's, based on genetics, fitness, etc., but this is just ridiculous:

Running 6:00 isn't fast, but doing so with an HR of about 100 bpm or below!?

That's pretty much walking pace... 10min/km. Weird to be doing so much 'super slow training' - can only assume it's family time?

 

gonna wear my HRM when I walk the dogs on the weekend and see what i get..might be interesting

Hi Stretch...my max running HR is 179. You hit the nail on the head....Cardio wise i was comfortable but my legs were sore and tired early on already.

The main cause i believe was the office move last week Wednesday through Friday.

 

I wonder what the cost to manufacture one of those normal foam rollers is... someone is making a killing...again...if only i had thought of it..

 

Just used mine now...im as sore as hell after 2 days of moving offices and having to pack, carry and unpack plentypluseleventyfive boxes and cabinets... feels like i just finished a crossfit stage race...

 

Not what i had in mind just before my marafun on Sunday

 

I spent a lot more time than normal on my feet doing heavy physical work. My whole body was stiff and sore on Thursday evening. ...clearly an office jock and not used to so much physical work. Definitely need to make a plan and do some strength work...
