I haven't blogged much in the last few days because of a heel injury. No idea how I got it, and I've never felt this particular pain before. Glad to say... after a few days of rest, it feels 80% better. But that got me thinking: Are there any exercises I can do to strengthen my feet before I run, so that this type of injury doesn't set me back again!
The answer is YES there are specific foot-heel-ankle exercises you could (and should) do before hitting the pavement to strengthen your feet. Afterall, they take a heavy toll during these run sessions ;)
