23 May 2008 - 11:44Running in-sole

I’ve been running for over 20 years, luckily injury free for the most part.  The only injury I had was a nasty bout with Plantar Fasciitis.  Also known as a heel spur, it is not skeletal related but rather an inflammation (sometimes severe) of the fibrous material that forms the arch in your foot.  

When I came down with plantar fasciitis I had to take 6 weeks off from running.  For me that was an awfully long time not to run.  When I did return, I began using orthotics from SofSole.  Since then I have been running pain free.  Well at least foot pain free.  They are also available at Road Runner Sports.
