Well both achilles are now stuffed, particularly my right one. It seems the track session last night may have pushed it over the edge, going from frustrating niggle to injury.

Saw the physio at Crows Nest this morning, and the treatment will involve anti-inflammatory medication to get through the race this weekend, then stopping running for a few days to allow it to recover properly. Heel raise platforms in my shoes combined with some calf massage to release the tension on the tendon will serve to prevent any further damage in the meantime. Stretching, post exercise icing and eccentric loading will come into play more once the inflammation has died down. At least I can swim! Bit of a shorter, sharpening session in prep for Sunday.
