Achilles tendon.

Hi all. Advice please. Finished run 3 week 2. My Achilles tendons hurt like hell. Due to run today but can't. What have I done/can I now do?

Thanks.

The guide to the plan has links to the NHS sports injuries page, where you can look up specific injuries and treatments.

You need to take Achilles tendon issues seriously as they can stop you from walking, never mind running. They can also take some time to heal up because of relatively poor blood flow to the area.

Heel drops worked well for me when I tweaked my Achilles after about a year of running, but I still did not run for about a month.

If it persists get professional medical advice.
