[QUOTE="Commander Keen, post: 2832476, member: 9126"] When I started running I had some issues with PF. To help I'd suggest rolling your bare foot on a golf ball. It can hurt really bad at times, but it certainly helps. Another thing to try would be to run your foot over a filled and frozen water bottle (smooth ones and ones with ridges have different feelings, in my experience). What surfaces are you running on? If running on a track, the ground, or asphalt instead of concrete is an option, I'd suggest doing that. Concrete is typically around 10x harder than asphalt. PF is typically attributed to running too much (this is subjective, and "too much" is different for all people and fitness levels) and/or running on hard surfaces. Switching from running on only concrete to a mix of concrete and asphalt, combined with the golf ball/ frozen water bottle rolling above, helped me out last year. Now that I have a good mileage base built up, running on concrete doesn't bother me anymore. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
