Is the pain at the achillis yendon or further up closer to your calves? It feels about an inch from the floor Do you run on pavement?Pavement Do you run in proper running shoes? Yes When your feet hit the ground is it the heel or balls of your feet that strike first?I think when I run with the pram that my running isn't as controlled and i'm feeling a little flat footed Do you stretch after? Yes and before

Sorry for all the questions lol! You really don't want to pop your achillis lol!

Thats a lot of questions!!! I've tried to answer them above..
Its easing as the day goes on, running alone tomorrow so we shall see how I go but if it hurts I won't push it.

Your achillis pain will flare up then start to feel better. But it isn't getting better lol. Try not to run on pavement. I was running into all sorts of trouble til I stopped pavement running.

Try standing on your bottom stair so your heel hangs over the edge. Then lower yourself til you feel the stretch. Hold for ten secs. Repeat 3 times twice a day

 

[Lucylu79]

I only have pavement to run around here, especially with a buggy :-(

 

[aesir22]

That sucks, pavement is evil lol. To me anyway but I do weight more than twice as much as you!

Race day! Come on, under 35mins!!!!

 

[Lucylu79]

Yes I remember in 2009 that once i'd stopped running for a few months that the knee pain started, especiallyg oing down stairs or doen hill. We climbed Snowdon and coming down was hell for me! It should of been the best bit!

Wishing you loads of luck for your race, cant wait to hear from you both later!

 

[aesir22]

I'll post from the hospital!

 

[Lucylu79]

It is a very warm day for running!

 

[aesir22]

Well done you two!

I joined ya in the heat, went out to try and beat my time and did my usual 3.22 mile in 36.10 mins so i'm slowly getting faster with a pace of 11.16 min'mile.

If I could get under 11 mins i'll be chuffed!

I also am having a treat tonight and going ever so slightly off plan, having a lovely salad but with some 50% less fat coleslaw that'll still be high in syns and of corse a glass of pino!

When's the next run then???

 

[aesir22]

We hate you because you run so well. Haha. You're doing dead well push harder push harder!!!

 

[Lucylu79]

Oh don't hate me!

You were all faster than me on the bike remember!!!

 

[aesir22]

Ok ok we're your friend again!

[Lucylu79]

I need to look into running routes around here as my feet are hurting today and my knee, pavements ARE evil!
