Hi All,
It's been a while since I've posted. It seems that you can't hide an Achilles tendon injury from Facebook!
Looking back thanks to FB reminding me, seems I have had a chronic tendinopathy issue. Latest physio (Felicity Macarthur) has me doing eccentric exercises for tendon. It's been nearly 3 months since last 'proper' run. Are my running days over? This question circles around my mind during painful treatments and repetitious exercising.
I am committed to competing in the Sydney City To Surf (14 kilometre road run) although I might only be able to walk it! So far, my rehab sees me doing 2 runs a week, 3-4 kilometres, but on a 2 minute walk, 2 minute run ratio. Hard to get 'match fit' with that regime!
I will DEFINITELY look to continue running, so after the C2S, I'll devote all my time to getting the ankle 'right' as I really want to go to the next level (half marathon). I will also get back on the 'straight & narrow' for my nutrition as the inability to run means I have put on a kilo or 2. So it'll be a nutrition driven program more than cardio for a while.
Cheers
Guy
