W1R2 sore achilles

[Bevington]

Hi. Not a great start. Felt it after first run but not debilitating so did second run. Got through first 6 60 second runs before I started limping a bit. Finished the runs and limped home. Really tightened up later that day (yesterday). Better today but still limping a bit. Due to run again tomorrow. My plan is to run if I can walk without limping tomorrow and probably abandon the run of it flares up again. Any suggestions? I’m guessing I should not try to run through it. 18 stone and sedentary doesn’t help but working on both.

Don’t run through it, take time to heal. Deep freeze gel is great (deep heat gives me hives 😝)

I have suffered with achilles problems, and I agree with Dee2609, don't run through it, it will make the problem worse. I found that ice and eccentric heel drops (give it a google) are the way to repair the achilles, not in that order though, heel drops first then ice. If you can then heat them up, jump in a hot bath, the blood will come running back to the area, which aids the repair.
