Desperate for some advice!
Having got over the stress fractures in April and begun the marathon training programme in May everything has been going absolutely fine then . . . last week whilst on holiday in Florida I had a couple of dull aches in my right heel - straightaway I thought it was my archilles but have never had any trouble before from it. Returned home and it has been bugging me ever since. The marathon is on Sunday and I'm just thinking now whether I could run through it. I can't say it's painful just annoying at the moment but I've heard that this can progress to become a real problem. I'm clutching at straws here but when I was on holiday I did run in old trainers (not really worn or anything just not my regular trainers) so I'm thinking maybe that had something to do with it. I'll give it another go after work today with my regular trainers and see if there's any difference.
I've been icing the heel since I got back from holiday and elevating as much as possible in the evenings.
