I switched to toe-running. I got plantar fasciitis! Now I cycle for cardio.

It is a valid concern along with other possible maladies that might follow anewed use of muscles and structures atrophied from decades of misuse or disuse. I was very careful about starting toe-running, going at a very light pace for only 30 seconds each day to start. But it's also worth considering that I was about 37 years old at the time, and had been lifting weights for some years so was somewhat heavy for my frame. I don't really know what I could have done differently. Maybe done it outside on trails instead of an indoor track. Maybe then I would have developed a good feel for how to be truly light-footed instead of merely landing on forefoot.
