The Two Mistakes
Many runners make these two mistakes with Achilles tendonitis/tendinopathy.
Now, before I get in the details - just know that it's never your fault!
I mean, how can you ever know you're wading into tendonitis territory? Sometimes, it just starts with a little soreness, and then boom, before you know it, it's so painful.
So, here's what tends to happen...
First, runners tend to do too little when it comes to treating Achilles tendonitis. The bodyweight heel raises, stretching, icing, and resting is not enough!
Instead, we need to do HEAVY sets and reps.
The second mistake is doing too much, which causes flare-ups and pain cycles that end up really hard to get out of. As a result, runners do too much, causing pain to flare up, and end up resting all over again.
What is more realistic is that symptoms WILL fluctuate, but we do need to push the envelope just a tiny bit to cause changes to the tendon.
