R E S T Need Not Be a Four Letter Word for Runners with Plantar Fasciitis by Daniel Marein-Efron

•Running on high impact surfaces such as concrete

•Having tight hamstring and calf muscles

•Having high or low arches

Many specialists now recommend that runners switch to running in a pool or traditional swimming to maintain fitness, while at the same time reducing the amount of stress put on the plantar fascia. This active rest can also involve other activities such as biking, though it is recommended that runners first stop experiencing pain before switching to biking.

For those that just can’t stop running they can try reducing their mileage by 90% and slowly working back up over a period or weeks and months as long as the condition is improving and there is no pain. If pain increases, the pool is the best option.
