I ran 6km on the treadmill yesterday. Average speed ; first 5 km : 10.3 km/hr and last 1 km 10.5 km/hr.
When I woke up this morning and stood up, my left foot hurt. More precisely, the bottom of my left foot was tight and sore. It felt as though there was a rubber band stretched a bit too tight across the arch. After I walked around for a few minutes, the tight and sore sensations disappeared and didn't appear for the whole day. But now as I am typing this in my room, I could feel a sore sensation when I rub my fingers across the arch. It's probably the beginnings of plantar fasciitis. I am glad I didn't run today.
I think I've experience this before a long time ago and made a full recovery. I certainly don't want it to become worse, so I may not run tomorrow if the area is still a bit tender.

I sincerely hope it's not plantar fasciitis. Both my feet were afflicted some weeks back, and it was extremely painful when running, and even walking (at times). But if it is, then stretching and icing will help. I've been doing this the last 2.5 weeks and it has improved. Take care.
you've been doing quite well - 6K. hope this is just a passing thing. take it easy!
Hi Tan Sri,
Greetings from Paris!
Have u checked your blood lately? Too much uric acid in our body also can give problem.
May be start your run at 8k/hr and change speed after every 1k.
Adios!
regards,
Waterman( currently sidelined for back injury!)

Haza,
I can e-mail your photo 2 u. Please send yr e-mail address to krunner07x@yahoo.com.
Waterman,
Thanks for the advice. On the treadmill, I start at 8 km/hr for 500m then 9 km/hr for 500m more, contstant speed 10.3 km/hr until 5 km and for the last 1 km at 10.8 km/hr.
Hi again,
fr 9 to 10.3 may be too large a change. Treadmaill is a funny machine. Try more gradual increment of 0.5 k/h every 500m would be better, I think.
