achilles pain

Hey. Yesterday we had our second indoor meet and my achilles was bothering me all day. It is sore today but I can walk on it. Does anyone know what I can do about that?

Wait until all soreness goes before running on it again. Achilles injuries take a very long time to recover from, so you don’t want it to develop into something serious. You probably have a lot of tightness in your calf muscles. You can try to loosen it up with self-massage, then consult with an experienced sports massage therapist. An good therapist will be able to detect and treat any focal regions of tightness and adhesions in your calves and achilles.
Eccentric lowering exercises (off a step) have been used successfully to treat cases of chronic achilles tendinitis. You should do these exercises as a preventative measure to strengthen your achilles tendons.
