The Achilles worsens

A 2 week spell with only 6 runs and just 2 short barefoot runs.

Resting after the relay and trying to recover in time for the Redcar Half Marathon just a week later. A reasonable run at Redcar reverting to running in Inov-8 Roclites. Lately I have been running in Asics Cumulus to lift the heel a little and protect the Achilles. Two days later and I cycled 15 miles to our local all-weather track where I ran some easy 800s (4.5 miles in all), barefoot. These 2 runs certainly aggravated my Achilles and, again, I’ll have to back off the barefoot running a bit.

Total miles for 2 weeks: 38.3
Barefoot: 6.3
