Well done.. finding your happy pace; take it in a relaxed and gentle way to the next week :)

Maybe try these for your Achilles twinge..

"Muscles worked:

Lower part of your calf (achilles)

Why do it?

Running can tighten up the tendon that connects your calf muscle to your foot. Tightness can lead to different injuries in the Achilles’ tendon, in your ankle.

Technique

Stand with your left foot slightly in front of your right. Ensure that your toes are pointing straight forward.

Bend your knees and sit back onto your right leg.

Push your right heel onto the ground.

Hold the position for 30 seconds before changing over to the left.

Watch points:

Keep your back straight and look forward. "

Not what you're looking for?
