My constant dilemma :). I’m trying to keep my miles fairly high during these winter months. I know if I don’t, my legs will get weak & I won’t be able to ramp up my mileage as quickly in the spring. So, my mileage will vary from 50-85 over the winter, with the bulk of…

I’ve never had Achilles trouble before, so I’m a little perplexed that it came on so quickly and has been so bad. Generally it feels bruised/tight when walking around.
