Hi folks, I would've posted on the new members forum but I have been on the site quite regularly over the past month so I've had a look at a lot of different topics.
I got knee surgery a few years ago and up until 2 months ago, I wasn't able to run without getting a lot of swelling in my knee. Luckily, I came across Christopher McDougall's "Born to Run" at the start of lockdown and I decided to switch to minimalist trainers after I read it.
So far I have had no knee problems whatsoever but over the past few days I have had some slight pain from my arch on the same leg I got my knee surgery. I've been trying my best to strengthen my arches and I've bought the wobble slant board recommended by the Born to Run coach - Eric Orton.
Any advice to avoiding this kind of injury in future? I should note that the arch pain has been intermittent; I walk around absolutely fine for some of the day and then it creeps in every now and then. I have just stopped running altogether for the past few days. Unlike most people with plantar fasciitis, it isn't sore when I wake up in the morning; it just comes and goes randomly.
Thanks,
Marc
