I haven't felt any pain in my Achilles tendon for about a week now, so I think it is healing well. I'm still being cautious by warming up very well and I'm still doing the eccentric exercises (with much fewer reps), but I think I should be able to go through this last week of the cycle. I will probably take a week off from running after the race before I start training again.
I did the 5K run yesterday and it was really hard. I did it in 21:10 (last one was in 20:40 3 weeks ago). I was also struggling a lot more than past races and I started to slow down in the 2nd half. I think the 30C heat added another degree of difficulty. Hopefully it won't be that hot for the race next week. :please:
