Do you have pain in your Achilles when you take your first steps of the day? - Tendinitis? Tendinopathy? What's the difference? - Episode 15

Achilles tendon pain from running is one of the most common running injuries.

The tricky thing with it is that it probably won't get better with rest and you usually can't just train through it.

Getting the dosage of exercise right is essential. That is going to be a combination of strength, plyometrics (jumping where you are using your Achilles as a spin) and a gradual increase in running.

The feedback you get as to whether you got your dosage right is pain the next day.

Let me know if you have had this injury!
