I have had Achilles tendinitis for more than year. You cannot power thru it; it only gets worse. Rest and ice is the answer — not what you want to hear. I stopped running for a year and it finally began to get better. My problem just came back recently; not sure if it was because I started cycling or have been playing tennis. Gentle stretches and ice ice ice. Do not try to work through this injury; no pain no gain does not work in this case. I have not tried acupuncture. Last year, I saw a podiatrist and had 5 months of physical therapy. Basically rest and ice is what you need to do. Are you signed up for the Trek triathlon in Sept? Good luck!

I think you’re doing awesome. Inspired by your first post, I am actually also training for a sprint tri – my first! I signed up alone, but a friend in my neighborhood has decided to do it too – we’re pumped. We’ve modified a swim-focused 16 week training plan we found on beginner triathlete.com. And it’s working – she’s improving her weakest link – swimming, and I’m getting better at running. We’re swimming and biking together – and it’s just awesome.

Ivan sounds like just the kind of swim coach you need. I can’t wait to hear more about your training. I write about mine on mondays on my blog – do you write about yours on yours? I’ll check it out now.

Thank you for inspiring me to train for mine!

I have been dealing with a foot injury as well which has prevented my running as much as I want to. They only thing I could think of for your issue is to see a Sports Medicine doctor - orthopedic surgeron or a foot doctor. I was reading a book about being a first time tri athlete and he said that if swimming is not your strong point to just focus on getting the job done. Don't stress out over doing it fast, just take your time and do it right. Ever since you posted here I have been reading your blog and enjoy it quite a bit! Tiffanys last blog post..Frustrated

Just remember that getting to the startline, i.e. the training, is harder than getting to the finish line. Once you get to the race it's all fun! And what isn't fun you forget real soon because you're so thrilled to have done a triathlon! Kara from MamaSweats last blog post..If Mama Wants a Workout She Better Have Options
