A partial rupture of the plantar fascia can be a truly debilitating injury for a runner.
It's much worse than plantar fasciitis. You take time off. It starts feel better. Then you run and it starts to feel worse again.
Because it can be so frustrating it becomes very easy to convince yourself that you need surgery.
In fact I was just having a conversation with an athlete who started to talk himself into surgery, even though he has absolutely no desire to have surgery one the plantar fascia.
His story highlights how easy it is to become frustrated, and how to overthink a mild setback in your recovery.
