Hi michael,

 sorry i should have made it clear, its the bottom that touches the ground, hence why whenever im on my feet i find im hurting, also when standing still i tend to have to lift my foot of the floor to ease the discomfort pain.

i have thought about buying some insoles but i am wearing a brand new pair of trainers that are cussioned not sure if the insoles would work any better.

thanks for your responce.

Hi

after training through the summer for an ultra i sustained an injury, 2 weeks before I was running hill reps and felt my left heel start to burn, i stopped immediately and walked back to the car.

i rested for 2 weeks then tried a 6 mile run, i had severe pain in my left heel on the base which feels like bruising.

now when i spend any time on my feet, work, walking the dog etc my heel gets very sore.

I tried cycling but the next morning  i was again in pain with my foot, it only feels bruised but it is very uncomfortable and has certainly stopped me running.

I dont have the resources to visit a sports injury clinic so im looking for help from the friends who read these pages.

i want to start London marathon training soon, having been rejected for the past 5 years so any help would be gratefully appreciated.
