My Achilles has been causing a lot of pain when I run in the past 4 weeks - it started after two very hilly runs in the alps. I’ve been icing, resting, stretching and rolling but it doesn’t seem to be improving much. I’m running Race to the Stones (100k) in 2 weeks, but haven’t managed much running (nothing longer than 25k) in the last fortnight so feel like I’ve started tapering way too early.
I’m going to try a final 20/25k tomorrow, but I’m worried about it. what should I do?! Any other types of training I can do that are less impact but keep my legs moving? Physio told me to rest it for two days, but that’s passed and it still doesn’t feel good. I’m so frustrated that this has happened so close to the end of my training - everything has been manageable until now!! Any advice appreciated..
