Things are not going so well at the moment.
I was feeling great during the 50min hills run and really wanted to keep going when it was finished, which is why I asked about increasing duration of the long run.
Unfortunately I ran into trouble on the long run, after about 3km started to get some achilles pain. It faded away but then returned a few times, and after 7km I decided I should cut the run short and limp home slowly.
Unfortunately it was still sore the next day, I have a bump/lump on the tendon and that 'creaky' feeling when I stretch it. I was hoping the day off would be enough but apparently not, so it looks like I may need to reduce load for a while.
I'm doing eccentric heel drops and foam rolling calves and will try running again in a few days.
