Achilles Tendinopathy
I have been training to complete the 10km run at the Melbourne marathon and have started to experience Achilles pain during my runs. It has been going on for 8 weeks now and isn’t settling. I experience it at the start of my run but goes away about 1km in but is worse about an hour after I stop. It is also quite sore first thing in the morning when I get out of bed. Nothing I do seems to help to reduce the pain when I go back to running. What can I do to manage this pain?
