Improving 10k with regular training

[MMS]

Hi,

I believe I have reasons to be concerned. Yesterday a pain on my right heel annoyed me all day (it comes and goes). Today it feels better. Anyway, I’ve scheduled an appointment with my ortho this Monday and will suggest a MRI. Like I said, I started my old icing/stretching/phisio exercises at home like used to.

Here´s a question and would truly appreciate your answer: I don´t like Gyms. But if you tell me that weight lifting exercises specific for runners will reduce the chances of having tendon injuries (it´s me believing that mr. achilles is back), I’ll definitely do that.

Thanks again.
