Michael, what kind of inserts did you buy? How long did you deal with PF?
It interfered with my activities outside of running much more than my actual running - I guess it's just easier for me to ignore that kind of pain while running.
That is actually pretty normal. As the foot and the band of tissue there warms up, it becomes more flexible, and doesn't tear as much during movement resulting in less pain. The pain tends to be worst after long periods of inactivity when the band has had time to contract, such as after getting up in the morning, or sitting around for a long period of time.
But ever since Winter ended I have had more problems with my calves and shins. I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing the arch/PF problems are connected.
