  • 31: When It's Not Plantar Fasciitis: Posterior Tibial Tendon Pain in Runners

    31: When It's Not Plantar Fasciitis: Posterior Tibial Tendon Pain in Runners
    30 Oct 2026
    Arch pain doesn't always mean plantar fasciitis. And when months of treatment aren't helping, it might be time to reconsider what's actually causing the pain.

    In Episode 31 of The Running Injury Podcast, Dr. Sara Raiser (MD) , Sports Dietitian Kelsey Pontius, and Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards (PT) discuss the case of a 49-year-old female runner struggling with persistent arch pain. After seeing multiple physical therapists and physicians, she was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, but nothing seemed to help.

    The problem? Her symptoms pointed toward a different injury: posterior tibialis tendinopathy.
    From foot biomechanics and excessive pronation to tendon loading, footwear, nutrition, and running modifications, the team discusses how posterior tibial tendon injuries develop, why they're sometimes mistaken for plantar fasciitis, and what runners can do to recover.

    Whether you're a recreational runner, marathoner, or trail runner dealing with persistent foot or ankle pain, this episode offers practical, evidence-informed advice on identifying the source of your symptoms and getting back to running.

    In this episode, you'll learn:
    • Why persistent arch pain isn't always plantar fasciitis
    • How to recognize the signs of posterior tibialis tendinopathy
    • Why pain behind the inner ankle, swelling, and discomfort during heel raises can point toward a tendon injury
    • How foot pronation, running mechanics, and hip strength influence posterior tibial tendon loading
    • When diagnostic ultrasound or MRI may help identify the source of foot and ankle pain
    • How running shoes, orthotics, and training modifications can help manage symptoms
    • Why progressive tendon loading and strengthening are important for recovery
    • How carbohydrates, recovery nutrition, and adequate fueling support running performance and rehabilitation
    • When to reduce hills, speed workouts, or mileage while recovering from an injury
    • How to safely progress back to running without repeatedly aggravating the tendon
    The biggest takeaway? If you've been treating plantar fasciitis without improvement, it's worth asking whether you're treating the right injury. Finding the actual source of your pain can make all the difference in your recovery.

  • 30: Why Young Runners Lose Performance | The Hidden Signs of Under-Fueling & Overtraining

    30: Why Young Runners Lose Performance | The Hidden Signs of Under-Fueling & Overtraining
    16 Oct 2026
    In Episode 30 of The Running Injury Podcast, Dr. Sara Raiser (MD), sports dietitian Kelsey Pontius, and Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards Physical Therapist walk through the case of a 13-year-old middle school runner whose performance unexpectedly declined despite training consistently.
    What started as a concern about running times uncovered a much bigger conversation about nutrition, growth, recovery, training load, and the unique challenges young athletes face today. From low ferritin and delayed growth to restrictive eating habits, social media influences, and training stress, this episode explores why performance changes are often your body's way of asking for help, not a sign that you've stopped being a good runner.

    Whether you're a runner, parent, coach, or healthcare provider, this episode offers practical, evidence-informed strategies to help young athletes stay healthy, perform their best, and reduce injury risk.
    In this episode, you'll learn:
    -Why a sudden drop in performance should never be ignored
    -How low energy availability can affect growth, recovery, and running performance
    -Why "clean eating" can unintentionally lead to under-fueling in young athletes
    -The connection between carbohydrates, ferritin, iron absorption, and endurance performance
    -What blood work can reveal when an athlete's performance suddenly declines
    -How sleep, stress, training load, and recovery influence performance just as much as workouts
    -Why heart rate, heart rate variability, and training metrics should be viewed in context
    -How parents and coaches can support young runners without adding unnecessary pressure
    -Why flexibility in training and nutrition is essential for long-term success

    Performance isn't just about training harder. Sometimes the biggest improvements come from eating enough, recovering well, managing stress, and giving your body what it needs to adapt.

    -Kelsey Pontius, MS, RD, CSSD – Sports Dietitian

    28:15 Medical evaluation and lab work for decreased performance
    37:10 Training load, recovery, and overtraining
    45:30 Heart rate, HRV, and tracking performance metrics
    53:20 The pressure young athletes face from coaches, parents, and social media
    59:45 Key takeaways for runners, parents, and coaches
