Subject: Does Raising Run Cadence Help Plantar Fasciitis? I have an ongoing problem with PF. Not super serious at this time - it doesn't stop me running but I certainly have to manage it - stretches, icing, orthotics etc. I don't get pain when I run but it's pretty sore afterwards. A running friend of mine she had heard that raising your running cadence is a good way to ease PF. The logic is that your feet hit the ground with less force and it's therefore easier on your feet. She pointed me at this article: http://www.life123.com/sports/cycling-running/running/running-cadence.shtml Question - does anybody have any thoughts or experience with this? Certainly I have a pretty low cadence - around 83 - so trying to raise it is maybe a good idea anyway (to run faster!) Appreciate your thoughts. |
