It's been more like 3 months gradually building from a single 5km run, but I have been actively working on rehab exercises since Nov 2019. That's under the guidance of Manni at Pure Sports Med, recommended me on here in fact. I thought I'd cracked it, but runs like today's reminds me that it's still very much a thing. So I'm thinking maybe a second opinion wouldn't hurt.
It doesn't really hurt before/after but is a solid 3-4/10 on most runs. So not a huge issue it's just something I'm aware not being quite right. I feel like if I wanted to seriously up speed or milage then it would probably be more problematic.
Edit - that physio sounds good thank you for mentioning. But Greenwich is a bit out of the way for me currently

Did you go from nothing to 13km over two months? My gut feeling says that's quite fast depending on how bad your tendonitis is/was and how long you rested for.
I had moderate tendonitis in both achilles in 2011 and it took me about 7 months to build up to 10km under physio supervision. Different injury I know but it took me a year to safely build up to 10km after an ACL tear. Achilles are slooooow to rehab.
I can recommemd a very good physio based in Greenwich. They were recommended to me by an army knee surgeon and have seen me right through two nasty injuries. PM if useful to you.
