i developed Achilles tendentious last year, mainly on my right ankle. My mileage was reduced significantly after that but started running again late last year. No issues but now that i'm running a whole lot more it's come back on both ankles. I'm at the point where i can run no problem but it hurts the next day. I know if i ran 10 days in a row then i'd be toast and not be able to run at all.
Does anyone have any experience with this injury? Any success stories of overcoming it? Or is it something i'll have to deal with for the rest of my life?
i know eccentric leg exercises are key and I will be doing these again (I think they helped me run a 38km trail race last summer). The internet scares me with messages like "possibly a running career-ending injury". I have a 10km race in 3 weeks and i'm on the fence of how much to train or not to train.
