So I’ve been running like a mile each day for 3 days out of the week. But I’ve laid it off since I’ve been getting a lot of plantar fascitis, knee pain, and pain around my shins.
I’m not even that old. I’m very confused, maybe there are some exercises I can do? Went to a running shoe store and they recommended me some more cushioning shoes like a glycerin gts 22.
Any tips, recommendations, comments, or suggestions would be appreciated.
Not a doctor but maybe something I’ve done will help you out. Stretching my calves everyday and going to a wide toe box shoe like Altra or Topo brought my plantar fascitis to an occasional minor soreness. I get soreness/pain in my left knee inside so I do squats and lunges if my mileage isn’t keeping it strong enough, usually in the winter when I get lazy.
I like zero drop shoes a lot but it’s recommended you switch gradually to allow your gait to adjust and all the under used muscles develop. Some love them, some hate them, might be worth trying on.
