So - I finally headed out to test my Achilles - I even did an NHS-prescribed warm up before I left - and I went on a flat route in case running uphill stresses the old tendon.
And it was... OK.
I'm definitely not running fit any more and my Achilles wasn't great. I allowed 20 mins or so in order not to put too much of a strain on it and by the end, I knew I'd been for a run, but more troubling was the ache in my leg. Nothing traumatic, it just felt stiff and uncomfortable. It's odd that my right foot with its knackered toe joint gives me no grief. I guess I"m over-compensating on my left.
I do hope I get over this and can get back into running - it makes sense on so many levels...
