GPP hills with achilles issues

@Stikki

It could also be something up higher in the thigh or hip. I had terrible achilles pain that was caused by a non-firing rectus femoris, when the RF isn’t working the achilles takes the brunt of the load during the eccentric after touchdown of the foot strike.

Best to get checked out by a good physiotherapist if you haven’t done so already.

Good Point -

80% of the time, a Non-firing RF is caused from a Frozen Hip Flexor, the RF then takes over the role and it all goes Pear shape, thus leading to over use of the lower leg stabilizers.

Foam rolling is a Must - There should almost be a whole new chapter in Sprint training Periodization (foam rolling)
