Your injury could well be totally different to mine but for what its worth:
From memory there was a period of months with no cycling or running while I concentrated on light stretching and eccentric exercises. When I began to sense an improvement I think I spent about two months building up my walking until I could walk for 90 minutes, up and down stairs with no pain or creaking. I think that's the point I was allowed to start doing calf raises and start a very gradual return to running...basically a couch to 5k followed by a progression to 10k over 7 months while carrying on the achilles exercises. That's a high level really.
Nothing will beat finding a good physio and working with them as if your achilles depend on it.
