I lost a solid month and a half of running this summer due to Plantar Fasciitis. Super Feet inserts in addition to a better stretching routine, foot strengthening, and a night splint were all parts of the solution.

Great video! Thanks for the information. From July 2020 though May 2021, I missed 17 weeks of running from plantar fasciitis. I had two separate instances, one in each foot. With the most recent injury, even after 4 weeks of basically nothing, it was painful enough that I saw a podiatrist and was x-rayed, thinking I had a stress fracture. Thankfully, I've been back to running for 21 weeks and I feel great. Foot exercises and barefoot walking (true barefoot as well as with Xero HFS shoes) have helped a lot by making my feet stronger. But I think the biggest benefit came from paying more careful attention to how my feet were feeling for the rest of the day after a run. If they felt great by that afternoon, I gave myself permission to add several minutes to the same run the following week. But if they still felt beat up, I kept the duration and intensity the same, and reevaluated the following week. I'm at 11 miles for my long run, and still increasing with no issues. For anyone discouraged from foot pain, there is hope!

I have learned so many additional tips from your channel over the last year that have helped out so much on marathon runs. Thank you so much!!

Well done on your Boston marathon run coach Morgan 👏👍🏅💪

Great video. a good reminder to look after the part of the body that gets a lot of the load. Currently I do use inserts that are custom to my feet. So much nicer for running when your feet do not hurt.

Thanks for this. I'll have to check out the app. My arches have been tight lately. I injured (non-running related) my ankle this summer and crud went down hill from there and now my arches hurt and stuff.

Well done coach M on your Boston exploits. Hope you had a well earned rest

Besides proper footwear and customized insoles, one thing I found as a huge helper was changing your lacing technique! Whether high archs or wider feet, changing how you lace up and your shoes absorb that shock will make a huge difference. I personally am between regular and wide shoes, right on the fence. By changing my lacing pattern, my feet get just enough extra room!

I’m (hopefully) in the last days of Achilles tendinitis. Stretching and self massaging everyday. Sadly for me, taking time off was the only remaining solution as I would run, re-aggravate the problem and get depressed about it. It’s been 2 months and I cant wait to get back to it. Last thing you want to do is pop your Achilles’ tendon.

Try building up to where you are running a few times a week In minimalist shoes and let your feet, ankle and toes strengthen. Do not rely on cushioning or inserts, they are a band aide and something you will always depend on.

Wow! Right on time! Been preparing for Point to Pinnacle a plantar fasciitis/ sheen spleens have become normal!

My feet doesnt hurt that much, but sometimes they cramp up a bit. My problem is shinsplints on my left leg and IT band on my right leg. So if it's not one leg that hurts, it's damn sure to be the other one. But in Sweden we have a saying that pain is just weakness leaving the body 🤣

My feet never hurt in my minimalist or barefoot shoes even on very long runs. As soon as I put on my cushioned shoes it feels like the bottoms of my feet are on fire. Bye bye cushioned shoes.

Good evening coach I learn running practice from you.

Definitely can't wait for the foot stretching video. I need tips

Actually I come to see her 🥰.. running is secondary thing for me 😀

Your thoughts on carbon shoes?

IMO, The better way to put a stop to foot pain (and kneepain) is by building a stronger foot & forefoot footstrike, but the proper footwear to develop it is a harder sell: BAREFOOT shoes without an insole. I ran behind a guy this weekend in ridiculously over-cushioned Hoka(?) sneakers that noisily Squished Squished with every step. No thanks -- It's Vivos & Merrell VaporGloves for me.

Good video coach Morgan, hey just wondering if you are going to do a Boston Marathon recap, 👊🏼

_"Thank you."_

Can The Running Channel do videos on cross country racing?

I see Coach Morgan, I click.

I want learn half marathon from you I am waiting your response.

what size shoe are you? you like foot massage post run?

Is there any way to avoid shin splints because I am getting very frequently just after recovering or its happening cause I am newbie runner

Hi love from India 🇮🇳

👍

This girl is a cutie

It's amazing how people who themselves have a wrong running form actually preach so much about running. I would recommend Paul Chelimo's YT channel for serious runners.
