Since my last entry in August training has been going really well,I have slowly been increasing the miles covering 22 miles in one week so was really pleased. I noticed though that my shins were sore, this is always a sure sign that my adidas Salvations were flat. I had a pair of Asics 2160's that were given to me by the Asics rep so gave them a go, did a few runs in them and all was good except I did find that my ankles were becoming increasingly sore,plus over the last week my achilles was getting very tight.
Working in the running industry I know the tell tale signs of achilles injurys. I have crossed of the list : too much too soon,speed and hill work, the only thing I can think of is a change of shoes.
Over the last 2 days I have stretched my calves and worn compression socks,put heel raises in my running shoes and not trained. Today Friday, my achilles feels a lot better, however I will not return to running until Sunday, with new shoes.
