There's logic in your assumption of the cause (possible cause) and in your possible solutions. But considering the undertaking you're planning I thinl I would consult a specialist in sports medicine.

I have no doubt it's just some soft tissue inflammation so I think I'll just hold off from running and walking and instead rest it combined with light activity until it goes (if it goes!). I dislike so called specialists as you can never be sure your hard earned cash is going to produce results/cure like my girlfriends chiropractor who had her return 12 times at £30 a pop with absolutely no benefit to her. It's utterly mind boggling how some people "earn" a living in this world.
I find that if I lift off with my heal instead of rolling on to the front of the foot then lifting off, I don't feel the dull ache. This results in a slight limp, but might be a good non-agitating exercise for strengthening the inflamed tendon which is what I'm pretty certain is the problem with me. I just read walking on your heals is a good way of strengthening your foot tendons. Don't you just love google's ability to self-diagnose!

Just read this thread again, and tend to think its a wind up to be honest, I may be wrong but its how its reading to me now either that or the guy just won't listen to common sense and has an agenda I can't understand.
Thanks for the links, I'm definitely holding off all activity to give my foot complete rest until the pain has gone. Are gait specialists on the NHS?
I was thinking the same thing. Again carrying that weight is doable. But I think only Shrek would enjoy it.
