Have I sprained a tendon?

[Bluebell84]

So I finished week 3 last night and I think I have sprained a tendon, my work colleague came with me as she is a runner, it's the back of my foot at my ankle point, got a limp on when it's bad till I get going, she us saying I'll have to brisk walk the run and light walk when resting and see how it goes, failing that it's walking for the foreseeable, is she right?

Sorry about your injury. Unfortunately we can't offer medical advice here - we are runners but not medically trained. Your best line of action would be to see your GP or (maybe better) a Sports Physio.

The area you are describing sounds like it may be your Achilles' tendon? Attempting to run on it when it is troubling you is not advisable though as you risk aggravating it and ending up with a worse injury. Hope you can get some help with this and that you will be back running soon.🤞
