    have spent the last 3 months of tri season nursing my achilles, first run after the killarney half in July i was in agony with it.
    ice, physio, and heel raises on a stairs got it back to where it hurt for the first few km of a run but then was fine. been steadily improving since, been able to train and race on it, and it's almost back to normal again, some small bits of pain now and again but i almost don't notice anymore it's been going so long

    finished my last serious race of the season in Lanzarote last week, so ona few weeks rest now which i'm hoping will help it and a couple of other niggles i've been carrying. back running next weekend.

    go see a physio, don't do your own rehab based on keyboard warrior feedback.
