Improving 10k with regular training

[MMS]

Hi Coach,

I´ve managed well the 8x500m with R60s. But on Wedneday, I started feeling a tiny little discomfort on my right foot, probably in the Achilles tendon. It was only when I placed my right leg straightened (holding this position making a base with the toes). Feels nothing while I´m walking, going upstairs or downstairs, running, etc.
I didn´t run, as a precaution, on Wed and yesterday. I´ve iced it and I´m taking some anti-inflammatories. This minor discomfort seems to be going away.

I´m very cautious, that´s why I decided not to run at all the past two days. I wouldn´t consider this as a pain, it´s really a minor discomfort.

I was thinking of going out tonight for a 20min jog just to be sure that everything remains okay. The race is tomorrow night, and everything looks good for a nice race!

What say you?
