Im running the GNR and i'm staying at a friends house in Gateshead with my wife (who isnt running).
Question:- Is there "organised" transport available for my wife to see me off the get the the finish area then for us to both get back to the start when i've completed the run?
OR
Is there parking available for my wife to drive to the finish and wait for me then drive us both back to the start.
Its my first GNR so im sure others are wondering the same. Other events ive done have been a loop.
Thanks in advance for your advice... Oh by the way www.justgiving.com/bryan-bentley

Brighton, I guess your physio has never had plantar him/herself.
My physio has and she knows how painful it can be, like I said when I walk there is no pain (thanks to her advice) but as soon as I push off to run POP there its goes, It feels like imagine having stitches on a cut and just before it heels pull the stitches out and open the cut. Its literally that painful for me. I mentioned the same website to my physio and her remark was that they have to give you a worse case scenario. It really can take that long. She also advises cycling to keep the fitness up while it heels. The stretches she advises are rear leg stretches ie calf and hamstring as this is usually caused by the tightening of these. Bryan
I am in exactly the same situation as yourself, I have got to a stage where when im walking I cant even feel any pain what so ever but as soon as I start to run the pain appears then takes a few days to stop hurting again. The only advice ive had is to deal with it and gradually it will get better over time. TIME being the operative word. My physio is very talented and I trust her every word as she has sorted me out in the past where other physio's have just wasted my money so I trust her when she says just do the stretching and rolling, although she has recommended I fill a plastic coke bottle with water a freeze it and use this for the rolling. Do this for 30 mins a day. This has got me walking with Zero pain but running is still a no no. She says its just down to you and how quickly you heal! every body is different but there really is no other fix for this. Bryan
