After about 4.5 months of transitioning (bf until the temps/rain/and snow got to me, so consistently bf until mid/late November), with no foot pain at all, only a few runs in slushy snow and my feet are beat. So far it's just soreness, like my feet have been hiking without the rest of me, but I wouldn't quite call it pain.
My plan is to just cut the slush and keep to tracks/cleared sidewalks and indoors when necessary, and to lighten up the miles.
I'm guessing that long term risks of TOFP are on the tearing/stress fracture theme? Any other thoughts? I thought after a few months of none of it I was immune to beginner foot troubles (silly me).
Anyone else get TOFP for the first time months into their transition?
Is this something to just be annoyed with, or to really worry about, like, say, achilles issues or ITBS (which I gather are more long term)?
Background if you need it: my transition was probably faster than it should have been but overall easy after I got over some calf soreness from the first week when I ran 4 miles in merrells.
