I have gotten them for so many reasons, you pick and see if any fit: 1. Wrong shoes, too hard for me. 2. Worn out shoes. 3. Track workouts. 4. Excessive mileage. 5. Excessive body weight. 6. New to running. I am sure there are others. Assuming there is nothing structurally wrong, eliminate the cause, ice, some ibuprofen, and perhaps rest. Typically they clear right up if you identify the cause and remove it.
