So after attempting Week 2 run 2 and having to give up half way through due to my achilles tendon, I've done a bit of readying and had some excellent advice on here on my previous post. I was definitely running too fast without realising it. I've decided to take at least a months break from running, to give my achilles tendon time to heal properly, then once I have forgotten all about it and I can bounce comfortable on my toes, will go and get my gait analysed/check its not my shoes. Then I will start again. Slowly. Like the slowest I have ever moved in my life ever!! :o)
I figure its daft to try to start a new sport injured. And as disappointed as I am, in the meantime I can still very much enjoy cyclilng and walking, and if I can face it some strengthening and flexibility stuff that the NHS has alongside the C-2-5K app (not sure I can face doing lunges in a park!!)
I was gutted to have to stop, was really getting into this, but theres plenty of time. Its best to make sure I'm ready then get back out there :o)
