My fitness goal is to be able to run. Running looks fun, I just never gotten up the energy to do it. I attempted to jog yesterday. I jog slower than a turtle and only for about a minute, but hey! Thats a minute longer then I have ever jogged before!4

Take it at your own pace, don't let others push you faster than you are comfortable going and that includes couch to 5 k apps....if you aren't ready to move on to the next week then repeat the same week however many times you need to until you are ready to move on. I say this from experience. I trained to do race for life in 3 months following couch to 5 k and ran the whole way. 2 weeks later I developed plantar fasciitis and have been trying to get rid of the pain for 2 years! Only you will know how hard to push yourself. Listen to your body.

Hey, it's totally okay if you can't walk much just yet. We often have very sedentary lifestyles because of the jobs we do and the ease of doing many tasks.
It's ALRIGHT to start from 10 minutes of walking or minute of jogging. Do that for 3-4 days and you'll notice that your legs pick up pace on their own. Move on to 12-15 minutes then. Increase your pace gradually. If you stay dedicated to it, you'll soon be running off everywhere!

Have you tried compression socks/sleeves? I liked the Feetures! Sleeve the best out of the ones I tried (some are complete garbage, so be careful. The Feetures! sleeve I was able to get at Sports Authority (and they are having a going out of business sale right now.)). Wore it for close to a year, and don't have much issues with PF anymore. I will say that at times I had to take the sleeve off because it got too tight to wear all the time, but in general it really seemed to help most days.
Also, have you tried to roll your arches with a frozen water bottle? (I'd put the bottle on the floor and roll my foot over it). That helped immensely when the pain got too bad.
I also got PF heel/arch supports for all my sneakers (luckily I can wear sneakers most days) - they don't fit well in my dress shoes.0 -

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I roll on frozen bottle of water twice a day, do stretches to my fascia and calves 4-5 times a day, have worn compression sleeves, roll on a golf ball twice a day (horrendously painful but consultant says it will help), wear a night splint and have orthotics, wear skechers shape up trainers all the time (advised by my consultant) and I'm trying to lose more weight to reduce impact on my feet. I've had two treatments of dry needling with hydrocortisone injection and I'm thoroughly fed up of being in pain!1 -

So sorry that the standard things don't seem to be working. And yes, the golf ball does sound pretty painful!! It is so not fun. Hope the weight loss helps, and completely empathize with you being fed up with the pain. I just know a lot of my friends that had PF never heard of the compression sleeves/socks, so I thought maybe you hadn't either. (((Big Hugs))) - know they can't really help, but don't know what else to offer...
