Won't solve the issue though. I'd recommend focusing more on strengthening the calf muscles or getting a good warm-up drill in for the achilles tendon/calves instead.

Get 2 kettlebells and do raised calfs, all you’re doing is pivoting the back of your foot in mid air and back.

Something like a kerb is good to use

Have actually been doing that as a stretch before and after my last few runs, without the kettle bells

Of course.

But he should do both. Might want to look at your running shows and posture too.

It’s great to get it done in the morning but when that alarms goes a tough decision is made. Every single time.

Love the morning runs once you can drag yourself out of the bed. Grand and quiet at that hour & feel the better of it when its all done

Got it a good few years ago preseason training for rugby running in Cratloe woods. Only thing that worked was taking 3-4 weeks off no running on the road and got new runners. Didn't come back again.

Having suffered with it over the course of a few years, I know what a frustrating injury plantar fasciitis can be. I'd have swapped that injury for a fracture, to be quite honest. At least there's a more definitive timescale for recovery from a fracture.

Start with resting for a few weeks, but try to strengthen your calf muscles with stretching exercises. PF is often related to tightness in the calf muscles.

I tried numerous things to resolve mine, but eventually the only thing that worked was shockwave therapy.  It required six sessions of shockwave therapy - one 5-minute session per week.

Hopefully your's isn't as bad as mine was. Rest seems to be the solution for most people.

I've been running with this on lately - https://www.amazon.co.uk/RDX-Neoprene-Slimming-Exercise-Training/dp/B010ASJL5G

The stories of losing 5-6lbs of water weight per session is true but you're not buying neoprene for the water weight, when you're running your body overheats and effectively turns into a sauna thus gaining the benefits from that - Detoxification and anti inflammtion. 

Any more than 10km running with it on is dangerous however, it's very easy to become dehydrated
