Been doing a lot of 5-15k distance running. Some 5 k results below. Best of 22minutes. Just been running steady, sometimes I ran for 40 minutes before the 5km race. Goal is sub 20minutes, but haven’t don’t have enough endurance to maintain that pace.

So did you defeat your Achilles issue. If so how?
Achilles are never defeated, once you’ve got signs of degeneration its a matter of management. Often pain is not evident with initial micro tears , so a lot athletes train on it.

Prof Jill Cook has got a good overview on tendon rehab.
You have to identify what are the aggravating factors. For me it was training on grass and too much training from 3 point stance.
Training on synthetic and in flats with appropriate recovery between sessions is important. Also you should have rehab protocol. I 've used eccentrics, isometrics , single leg hopping etc I ve found that doing double leg calf raises and seated calf raises the best for as they don’t flare up the tendon.
I have been running for about 3 mths now after 2 yrs out with achilles tendinopathy. What has helped me is very heavy ( 2 x bodyweight) isometrics, 6 x 45sec hold on the leg press machine every day.
Also all my running has been on concrete or synthetic …no grass for me either.
I experienced the same with regards to grass. The softer the surface, the more likely it is to cause achilles issues.
I’ve had some success with isometrics as well, do you use the 45 deg or horizontal leg press ?
