Were at an Orthopedic / Podiatry specialist right now.
He said that it was nothing serious, just a slight swelling, hardly noticable, in the heel. The healing process was already on, so he adviced me to half my running for two weeks. He suggested not to run half as long everyday, instead run my ordinary runs every other day so that I would have one day of rest in between.
He also said that it should be no problem for me to even run fast runs if I usually do that, but not at max effort, though.
It was very nice, because he commented my feet and ancles - told that they were very good and stable, suitable for running. Nice to hear, since I had no idea.
He said that I needed to be better at stretching my calves and achilles tendons, because as they are now I can't stretch them for total movement - that is, they are fully stretched the moment a put the feet on the ground on my running stride.
So.. Ordinary running every other day for two weeks.
Right now I will go for my lunchtime run happily knowing I'm not doing anything that harms me.
So, Coach, Build up now then, maybe?
