What is Plantar Fasciitis and How a Runner's Weight Plays into Shoe Selection | EP 55

 

In today's episode we start with a quick update on our own training and a mini review of a shoe Nathan has been testing the last few weeks. We then dive into the anatomy of the plantar fascia, what may cause pain/injury, and what do to about it. NOTE: a hallmark sign of plantar fasciopathy is pain with the first steps in the morning (was not said in the pod, but is a really helpful sign/symptom to diagnose). Finally, our team talks about a very interesting topic: how does body weight influence what running shoes we buy?
