About 2 (?) months ago I stopped wearing my orthotics to see if that would help my heel. I think I can say unequivocally that it has. I am running a consistent 20 miles per week, and my heel (though not entirely healed) feels better than in has in a year.
However (you just knew there was going to be a however didn’t you), my hip (remember my hip? the whole reason I started wearing orthotics in the first place?) is starting to feel the same way it did when I went to get orthotics in the first place.
It’s not quite as bad as it was then, but it’s bad enough that I know I have to start wearing the orthotics again.
I plan to try wearing them only when I am walking around, and not on runs, at least initially.
I also hope to put up a marathon training post soon, as well as my schedule.
