Wow i just saw your 3 years ago video where you were still losing weight. You look amazing😅 lost so much. I always excercised but because of high cortisol it was dificult. But i keep going.
Recovery from injury is part of the training ❤ you WILL be ultra ready. Even the best top athletes have taken time out for injury. We just don’t see it. I’m so glad you are feeling better Lucy. Hoping your recovery continues. You are such an inspiration to me starting running ❤
I had thé same injury. What helped me was rolling a golf ball under my foot arch. A kind of massage, it hurt at thé beginning but really helped. Good Luck. Happy for you that you had this partnership.
Hope you’re planter fasciitis improves soon for you, as a fellow sufferer in the past it takes some time to get back to normal but it does happen! I would say get a pair of crocs to wear in the house, they cured my really painful planter problem, it was the only thing that worked! Take care 😊
Ooo also get some insoles for your shoes that are specific to plantar fasciitis. Game changer. I only walk Run when wearing them and they have helped immeasurably.
Lucy - you need to get a lacrosse ball and roll your foot out. If you can't get a lacrosse ball freeze a water bottle with water in it and roll your foot on that. Just stand and basically roll your foot on it. It helps a lot!!!
This exactly! Chronic sufferer here and rolling (Lacrosse, tennis ball, or order one of the spiky balls for foot rolling!) is the deal. My other trick - because I think those sock things that pull up your toes are annoying - is to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights, pushed down until my feet are flat against the end. Keeping that tissue more stretched while you sleep is game changer. Lastly - a lot of times this is actually also due to a tightness in your achilles/calf - stretch those too for good measure!
I have plantar fasciitis as well. Roll your foot on a frozen water bottle and purchase a sleep sock that pulls your toes back toward your shin. Jt will help super stretch out the fascia. I haven't had a flare up in ages. Hopefully you won't either once this one calms down!
I suffered from PF for a loooong time. I finally went to a physical therapy and they told me it was due to really tight calves. Since then, I have done calf stretches after every run. It is a world of difference. I also have a massage ball that I roll under my foot and sometimes, I use a frozen water bottle for the inflammation. It is horrid, but I promise you can get through it!
Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery Lucy! Last year I was training for my first half marathon and got a stress fracture, ignored the pain and made it soo much worse :( and had to defer the race to this year. A couple of months ago I got the same pain again on other foot, IMMEDIATELY went on rest, ice etc. And it healed so much quicker this time. All we can do is learn from the injuries 👍
Am glad you are feeling better. 🎉. Best wishes for your rehab and recovery. I found doing a 5k coming back from injury was a great accomplishment and made me feel better.
Fill a Bottle with water, freeze it and use it to roll out your foot it hurts but it works also see if you can either see a pt therapist or or orthopedic doctor
I'd certainly take it easy going in to the plan and maybe run every other day for the first few days and see how you go. Maybe if you really want to do 4-6 days swap some runs out for bike/elliptical? Good luck!
The plan is making me worried when I look at it now lol. I don’t feel ready to start it but the race is in Sept 😬 In a bit of a pickle but I’ll see how my injury goes. Thank you! 😀
I'm glad to hear you're feeling better LucyShaw. I had a similar experience about a year ago, during my recovery I discovered (on youtube of course) The Young Shuffle running style. Once I got the hang of it running changed entirely for the better for me. Maybe have a peek & rest up!
Hope you are back running now :) but take your time. I whanted to thank you for reeminding me that I shud not run in bad old shoes. So I invested in some new ones.
If you have any numbness or tingling, please see your doctor. Cubital tunnel syndrome is a PF mimic, but also has numbness. PF is nasty stuff. Ice rolling, stretching, etc are all mainstays of treatment. Some patients grind relief with insoles/inserts to support their arches/feet better. I just had to take two weeks off, as well. I’m glad I did now, as I can run at least 12k without pain now. Two weeks ago I couldn’t walk… Keep your chin up! You’ll get through it! Am I the only one who thinks all the Tailwind flavors taste exactly the same? It’s all pretty neutral to me, which I prefer. But I put one flavor in one soft flask, and another in the other side. I can’t tell the difference, nor can my husband. 😉
There’s no numbness but I will keep an eye out for that. Thank you 🙌🏼 Maybe it’s because tailwind doesn’t have a strong favour? 🤷♀️ I have tasted the difference before but now that I think about it, they are quite subtle 🤔
I know everyone says to roll your feet on a lacrosse ball or golf ball, but I had brutal plantar fasciitis for a while and then watched a Bob & Brad video (they're physical therapists) where they talked about the most common causes of PF, and they said a lot of the time it's caused by tight calf muscles. I can't stretch my calves enough with normal stretching, so I bought a massage gun and started using that on my calves (two minutes each calf at the end of the day), and within a day the PF was nearly gone. Now I use the massage gun every time I put in more than a couple of miles on my feet, and it keeps the PF away. Seriously, invest in a good massage gun, and use it after your runs, almost guaranteed it will cure your PF.
Consulting a physiotherapist might be beneficial for you because you might need to do specific strengthening exercises as well as your stretches and icing. Also using a massage gun could help. Keep up other training as well like in the gym. Focus on keeping your whole body strong and not just thinking about the injury. Exercise the parts of your body that aren't injured. 😊
I can’t run right now bc I have stitches and it sucks. I’ve been walking briskly instead but definitely can’t wait to get back at it. I have a race 7/12 too so cutting it close!
Freeze a water bottle and use it to roll on your heel and mid foot. Use a tennis ball or order one of the special balls that you can use to roll everyday in the morning and evening to help stretch your foot. Look up exercises and stretches specifically for plantar fasciitis you need to strengthen your foot muscles. I couldn't even walk for 2 weeks because of plantar fasciitis It was awful. But doing exercises and rolling my foot every single day even after I felt better is key. Worst case scenario you can get a steroid shot that will ease up the pain for a while and allow things to heal and relax. I also changed my shoes to Altra brand but the ones with lots and lots of cushion. The foot shape shoe and zero drop really make a difference and strengthen your foot instead of having so much support that your foot stays weak. I used to get shin splints but changing to these shoes has also helped that. Sorry for the long message but I've been through this and I know how much it sucks. Can't wait for you to feel relief!
I know you don’t want to blog swimming, but my NON- medical advice is to take more than a couple of weeks off of running, and do the very low impact substitution of lane/lap swimming pool workouts to let your foot heal as fully as possible. Do not go back to running too soon. (I made this mistake with peroneal tendinitis caused by pushing through pain with the wrong shoes as well. Going back too soon meant taking more time off later) Best wishes, whatever you decide is best for you.

@@lucyshawvlogs haha, yay!
I also use kt tape to help your foot

Lucy, I think your True Strap link is missing a slash and the affiliate code part won’t work. Just don’t want you to miss out on any clicks!
Thank you for looking out for me! I’ve double checked the link and it’s registered clicks so fingers crossed everything is ok 🤞
@@lucyshawvlogs ha, could just be because I was looking at it on mobile! Glad it seems to be working!
