Here's a pretty interesting NYTimes article about why <i>not</i> to see a doctor when you get discomfort or pain during athletic activity.<br />
<br />

<br />
Of course, the crux is that experience will give the best understanding of your own body but, like parkour, that is a long-term process.

My experience is limited, but in general I'd say if the pain is sharp or shooing, stop. If it hurts more after working it, stop. If it hurts about the same or feels better after you've warmed up, you might be good to go.

Better to be safe than sorry; just keep in mind "to be and to last". Give yourself plenty of time to heal. You can always condition instead if you're not sure.

haha... you're gonna get the whole spectrum of answers on this (<i>and remember none of it constitutes or substitutes medical or professional advice!</i>), but few people are gonna ask first a couple of questions, which would make any suggestion better based:<br />
- what happened to the left foot?<br />
- to what part of the foot?<br />
- how sore? Does it ache when you touch it, at rest? When you walk on it? When you jump-land-push off?<br />
- how long does soreness occur? While you train (even after warming up)?…
haha... you're gonna get the whole spectrum of answers on this (<i>and remember none of it constitutes or substitutes medical or professional advice!</i>), but few people are gonna ask first a couple of questions, which would make any suggestion better based:<br />

- how sore? Does it ache when you touch it, at rest? When you walk on it? When you jump-land-push off?<br />
- how long does soreness occur? While you train (even after warming up)? At home at night? The following morning? All the time?<br />
<br />
Whatever the answers, soreness is a form of minor trauma, or even of microscopic tearing of muscles/tendons; it's a sign that you might be:<br />
- not hydrated enough<br />
- not warmed up enough<br />
- not stretching properly<br />
- exercising too violently<br />
- exercising too abruptly (from not exercising)<br />
- not cooling down properly<br />
- not resting enough<br />
- exercising excessively, and finally<br />
- simply practicing a complete new form of exercise<br />
(but don't write off all other causes, and jump to the last obvious one, for convenience...)<br />
<br />
Now if aches and pains are minor, they are simply indications that muscles are adapting to your new exercising program, and mild soreness comes with any kind of physical activity, especially when beginning a new type training.<br />
In general, if you're not sore to the touch and you have your full range of motion, a <u>light activity</u> will stimulate blood circulation to the muscles favoring recovery, but -by any mean- if pain persists or increases over a week or so you may want to see a doctor.
