I have decided to join you and I am on week 3. Running was my primary exercise until I developed plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis develops when the tissue at the bottom of the foot becomes inflamed. This tissue called plantar fascia connects your heel bone to your toes and forms the arch of your foot.

To ward of the problem this time around, I will be stretching my calf, wearing my orthotics and only running on the treadmill. Hopefully, I will make it to running 20 minutes without this problem manifesting again.

Remember to do your run workouts 4 days a week and you can increase or decrease the pace of this program to fit your needs. If you need the first 4 phases go to The Learn to run Frugal Running Program label.

I started on phase 2 and I'm on phase 3 now. I like this program because I haven't had any injuries so far, knock on wood. See you at the end.
