After taking off 6 weeks to see if I could get my achilles fully recovered, I started back running today. I have been biking to keep in shape but really been wanting to get back to running for some time. I have been holding off because I really wanted to finally put this achilles injury behind me. I am hoping that this did the trick. It was really warm today (almost 80) with a slight wind. I did some stretching then walked for about 5 minutes to loosen up the foot. I started off super easy on the running and never ran much faster than about 8:30 pace. The foot felt good and I didn't have any problems. Probably could have went further but I really want to take it easy coming back and make sure I don't create any problems for the achilles. My plan is to continue biking most days and then run every other day as I build back up to full time running. 17:38 |
