Achilles pain at heel insertion
So I did this fun half marathon in Vancouver, just for fun but it was only 60 degrees out! wow! What a treat! So I ran hard and... after that had pain in Achilles. Am taping and icing but I have worlds and Kona. I did two runs since Vancouver. The last was about 4 miles and I’m in pain again. Tape ice and Aleve.... Help! Don’t run till race? Then don’t train for Kona? 🧐. My thought is walk if I must

Hey, @Patricia Rosen Doctor, you know very well the last thing you need right now is a rot'd Achilles. If it were me, I would go ASAP to a Sports MD and/or Orthopod I trusted, talk to them about my needs ("I want to run these races! And I'm very good, I'm a serious athlete here!), and get their assessment of the risks, and what studies might help you decide.
Don't mess around with this. No matter how we feel inside, our bodies aren't 35 anymore, we are much more fragile & brittle.
