I went for a brisk 65 mile ride a couple of weeks ago, first hour was very fast, second hour moderately so and the last forty five minutes was pretty slow- I blame going out too fast and an evil headwind.
It couldn't possibly be down to me not having the miles in my legs.
Anyway- afterward my right Achilles tendon ached like hell, to the point that over the next few days I ended up cycling using only my left leg.
I took a couple of days off the bike and it faded, got back on the bike and it kept fading.
Thing is the ache has now moved to the right of the tendon, and if I put my fingertips over the tendon whilst I flex my ankle I can feel the tendon "creaking".
I presume the answer is to just stay off the bike for a while- however I would welcome another answer!
Over to you.
