Rested my Achilles, been exercising/stretching daily. Did W4R1 this evening, no problems up to now. My last run was Tuesday so fingers crossed it’s ok now.

Tight Achilles can really hold you back but it’s important to listen to them so you are right to rest and stretch. I have some Neals Yard arnica salve that I rub into mine before and after a run.

I’ll try that thanks. Going in the morning I’ll see how it is after that.
