Ouch! sounds like injury is not your best friend huh?
What happened to your foot?
I've found the little old man shuffle works well for building up your stamina and distance. Don't pressure yourself to go too far or too fast. Just concentrate on puttering along and building up a habit of running. Then you can start to build up the speed.
I only spent a month on speed work before my marathon, which enabled me to run it ... very slowly hehehehe.
I'm not a TAUR. What is a TAUR?
Turns out it is a hammer toe hitting a metatarsal awkwardly. Inflamation is reduced with a simple band to keep the toe straight.
The Trail and Ultrarunner group has 68,000 members! I was there before it had 20k. If you join turn off notices because there are a lot of posts. I don't even try to keep up. Most are in the trail runner/pre-ultra category.
