A few days from my 1/2 marathon and I hit a snag... apparently going from weeks of training on a treadmill to a long run outside equals pain for your Achilles tendon. A quite painful lump, actually. I'm doing the whole ice/ibuprofen/rest/elevation thing hoping to get it to go away before Sunday. It actually hurts more to walk than it does to run, but I'm worried that running through it could cause worse damage.
Hopefully a few day's rest will do it, because I'll be SO frustrated if I can't run! Maybe I'm just overreacting? Thoughts? Suggestions?
