L Lower Leg, Achilles Tendonitis

2009-05-11 – 2009-09-25

Grade: 3

ankle inversion at Bentley dragging tendon obliquely in its sheath - overnite achilles really started to hurt
1 july - still poorly - it recovers enough for a run but then stiffens horribly overnight - this so soon after last achilles injury means I need to have a loong layoff

long layoff from harvesters in june. lots of eccebtric stretching and calf massage - then coast path walk in august to build strength, followed by gentle reintroduction to running meant I could do the BOK long-O in Sept and 1/2 marathon in Oct, without any recurrence - super!
