no surprises really, but a quick check of the online literature - mainly
here - makes it abundantly clear to me that achilles tendinonitis is what my problem is. now to find out what i do to fix it. and what it is that made it come on. i have my suspicions. number one would be that i've not been stretching my calves enough. i'm awful for that - and stretching as a whole. will get to that straight away. my other feeling is that i upped my fast-pace training quite quickly in order to get enough in before the 10k i was to do tomorrow. maybe i went at it a little too quickly and have suffered the consequences. whichever way round i look at it, i've made a problem for myself and i need to fix it quick.
i'm sure i can keep up the cold therapy and taping my ankle foot up to emulate a tendon strap, but i don't think i can go to the lengths of getting Poll to help me do the full-on
achilles tendon taping. that seems a little extreme. i'll keep up with the calf stretching and see how things stand in a week or so. then i'll make the decision about whether i head back to
BackonTrack, my excellent local clinic.
