Swimming is supposed to be a good exercise for people with plantar fasciitis, in that it won't inflame the problem, but I'm starting to wonder if this is true for your typical Masters swimmer. For one, there are a lot of hard pushes off the wall. For another, there is swimming with fins (long fins and zoomers). Does anyone have any experience with this? I can't seem to shake my plantar fasciitis and I wonder if swimming (or at least wall-pushing and swimming with fins) is delaying recovery.
Jack, how the heck are you? I didn't recognize your handle, and only saw your .sig just now. You may not remember me, but I do remember you from GE CRD, BITD. I used to work with Bill Lorenson (Mr. Marching Cubes). You were the "Common Sense Coach" (or something similar) as I recall.
Doing well, Skip, older but wiser. I left GE in 1997, but stayed in touch with many friends there, Bill L. and the GE Runners club included. The Common Sense Coach thing was pre-www in the mid to late 80s on Usenet Newsgroups. Searching the wayback machine once I found I was probably the first online running coach. I wrote most on the rec.running FAQ in the beginning.
