Have you had a foot injury in the past? How did you recover from it? Let us know 👇

Thanks for such helpful content GTN. More power to you guys. Even in pandemic, you gave us such good videos about running. 😊👍

That's what I was looking for 🙌🏻

Dealing with an injury right now and taking a few weeks off. Really feel like I'm struggling - not being out on the road.

Right on time! Thank you so much!

Great video guys! Super helpful, thanks.

Really helpful... this is what i need to know now.

I agree with what someone else had mentioned, the On Cloudflow I believe was the main factor the main factor in my plantar fasciitis I developed. Shoes are such an individual specific issue and its hard to say what will and wont work for someone. But I will say I think the Ons are very comfortable and cushioned, but most models do not have much rigidity (you can bend the shoe in half with almost no effort) and this means not much support for your arch so you will be absorbing that rather than the shoe. After a period of recovery I had switched to New Balances models that had more rigidity and have been running longer mileage with more constancy for over a year now with none of the issues I had when wearing several On models.

this video is packed with very useful information so thank you very much. for me its clearly because i started running daily

Very helpful, thanks 👍😀

Just got foot pain the other day having to stop my daily running streak today just the video I needed!

That is really very good videos thank you for that.

I struggled with a metatarsal stress fracture all of 2020 on and off and no matter how gradually I built up mileage it kept coming back. Started doing 50% of my runs on grass or gravel and it hasn’t been back in 6 weeks and am back to where I was at the start of 2020! Just got to be really careful with it and run EASY. Also found a way to see if it is a stress fracture here is pulling each individual toe back slightly and if it causes pain then it is a stress fracture in the metatarsal

Oh man, what a timely video (even though I’m 9 months late). I just developed athlete’s foot, plantar faciitis, tendonitis on top of my foot, also a bunion, all in my left foot. I assume it was a combination of increased distance and worn out shoes as the main culprit. The athletes foot came from the pool. Reduced running, stretches and my new Brooks Ghost 14 will be here tomorrow should help. I just reached olympic distances in all disciplines so I need to stay at those distances for a while.

Thank you, helped alot

Thanks for the nice rundown! I had two injuries over the past year and this video was nice to see. Plantar Fasciitis - The temporary sharp stabbing pain in the mornings is real; I thought I could train through since pain went away after walking around in the morning for a few minutes but it definitely prolonged the injury. I had to stop running for about 3 months or so to let it fully heal. The next/current injury is fifth metatarsal fracture after a half marathon. It was sharp pain on the outside midfoot every time I would walk or sometimes even stand. I was just pushing very hard through the race and didn't care much about my form during the race, which I think lead to my injury. I also increased my weekly mileage a bit too fast I think, which served as another trigger.

I've always had aches and pains in my feet and I feel like running takes away the ache. I feel if I did get an injury, I might not know 🙊

Very helpful I have now figured out what I have

Many thanks for advice Mark. Will give it a week and see if my heel is still hurty then if it is I’ll book in with Cornwall physio :)

Thank you so much for this video, really helpful! So far i've been able to avoid injuries on the foot, but have had to take a break from running due to knee pain - do you have remedies in order to prevent that?
