Was going soo well, running again following knee replacement, and putting on the lockdown belly,67 years old and feeling every year of it,then decided I have to give the Cto5k (which I downloaded about 4 years ago) a try.
Played football until I was 60 then walking football before knee replacement 2hf years ago, so pretty confident. Week 7 run 3, had little ache in achillies, rested for 4 days, then after run 1 week 8 my achillies swelled and painfull.
Has anyone had similar injury and how long to run again..?🤦😢

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress.
I had a minor tweak of my left Achilles, with no swelling and I did not run for over a month. I was ten years younger than you at the time and that age difference is significant. I would recommend that you consult a physio or at least follow the link in the guide to the plan to the NHS Sports injuries page.
