achilles tendon injury

[Gary T]

Does anyone have any good references to treating achilles tendon injuries? I've found a few from
google searches but what i'm looking for are real case studies, specifics of people adapting their
routine and coming back stronger -)). I did have cat A races coming up but these now look bleak so
words of advice would be most gratefully received. Aiming for age group qualifier for 2003 duathlon
worlds but think this may get knocked on the head as will probably miss the qualifying events.

Cheers G

Gary,

Check out the Jan/Feb 2003 issue of Running Times magazine, there is an excellent article on
Achilles tendonitis.

Hope it helps,

CM

Hey Gary, just injure the other achilles tendon and that way you'll even things out.
