Hi,
I am currently getting in to Running having started since the turn of the year with the intention of running a marathon later in the year. I have been doing 20k a week for the latest four weeks over three to four runs with no complaints. This week i increased two of my runs by 4k by extending my route, on the new route I ran on a severely sloped footpath for about 300 metres which meant one leg was extending more than the other. I didnt really notice anything at the time but the following morning I had a dull pain in the sole/arch of my foot, tenderness in my lower leg(just above my ankle to the outside of my leg) which is quite painful to touch and a soreness when I rotate my ankle
. This is really frustrating as I am becoming quite addicted to this running lark and not being able to get out is killing me.
hopefully resting and icing for the weekend will do some good.
If any of you had any similar injuries and could suggest the treatment you used that would be great
