sore heel from running

[inked1]

I run a couple of times a week, usually only a light jog for 20 mins or so, occassionally doing some sprint work. About a month ago my right heel began to ache the day after running, to the point that it was almost too sore to walk on. It is sore to touch( almost likea bruise)After a couple of days rest it would go away.

walking doesn't seem to cause it, and it only seems to have started after my weight hit around the 108kg mark. I don't think it's plantar fasciatitis (sp), any suggesstions on what else it could be

It could be your shoes, the extra weight may have broken the support down and now your heal is getting all of the pressure. I have found that now that I am heavy, cheap shoes hurt my feet. I have to buy good shoes otherwise my feet hurt as well.

I thought that,I was running in a pair of brooks that I had used for the last 12 months. I bought a new pair of ascics and am still having the problem, so i don't think it's the shoes
