GPP hills with achilles issues

That’s great, but be carefull as the effects of acupuncture can be temporary and may not be curing the source of the problem. Have you had a diagnosis yet ? If certain pressure points can be identified, your coach can help you in the long term, certainly cheaper option.

I had acupuncture years back to relax the muscles in my kneck and shoulders following a fall (slipped on ice). I felt great afterwards but a lot more work by the physio was needed before the problem was sorted.

Good luck, keep us informed.
