Just hoping for some advice, did week 1-6 on a treadmill at home, but decided to move outside, week 7 was fine ( but much harder).
Did the first run of week 8 on weds and after had awful Achilles pain in my left ankle, so I missed my next run (friday), yesterday it felt fine so I headed out today. Deliberately ran on the flat and super slow, and the first 15 mins was fine and then the pain started again. It's not horrendous, I can still run with it, but it's unpleasant, and stiff now I've stopped.
Does anyone have any helpful advice please?

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.
Follow the PRICE principles linked to in the guide and rest up until the pain has gone. You may find eccentric heel drop exercises good for it. In general it is worth stretching after every single run, while muscles are still warm.
