Comments on: My Best Long Run Ever…and Self-Diagnosing My Foot http://thefinalforty.com/my-best-long-run-ever-and-self-diagnosing-my-foot/ Losing weight, one mile at a time Wed, 24 Sep 2025 06:41:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.2 By: Jennifer http://thefinalforty.com/my-best-long-run-ever-and-self-diagnosing-my-foot/#comment-91110 Jennifer Fri, 10 Apr 2015 16:23:52 +0000 http://thefinalforty.com/?p=5548#comment-91110 Thanks, Kristina! It has been a little better lately, so here’s hoping it won’t flare up again before the marathon.

You are SO right. Those last miles are the worst, but then I somehow magically forget about the physical agony and soul-crushing boredom as soon as I’m done, lol.

Sounds exactly like what I’ve got. It’s weird that it more or less disappears while running, but then afterwards, hurts like a you-know-what. SO ANNOYING!

I’ve been doing all of these things…and I’ll definitely be checking out the Feetures sock! The pain is coming and going, but it has been a little better lately, THANKGOODNESS.

my brother had PF last year. One of the things that helped him along with the iced water bottle, a golf ball and massage was sleeping in a sock from Feetures.

Definitely good psychologically if you can negative or even split. Finishing strong is the best feeling in the world. Well done!

I hurt my foot at E Murray Todd, also self diagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis. I have noticed it hurts less when I run, and mostly hurts if there are hills, or when I’m walking. The day after isn’t fun either. PiYo seems to be helping, as well as rolling and icing. I hope yours feels better soon!

Way to go on your 16-miler! I honestly think the hardest part of a long run is the boredom that comes on towards the end. But, there’s nothing like that awesome feeling of finishing and feeling on top of the world!
