ooooh, way too much to catch up on in my absence (school hols) but some great running/racing going on. Well done on surviving SNOD and Beachy Head and some good times too considering hilliness/weather/underfoot conditions. Congratulated WIB over on another thread, but repeat it here too!!
Creaking around a tendon is 'cripitus' - basically the 'synovial fluid) which is what surrounds the tendon and keeps it sliding, thickens when inflamed and makes it creak! Thing with achilles in my experience is that the icing etc helps the creaking but you don't want to keep it imobile either!!
Driving 700 miles per week - OMG, cannot imagine what your hip-flexors and hamstrings must be like (well with my pilates instructor head on, the hamstrings will be too long and the hip flexors will be too short and tight!!). sooo need to balance it all out to get things working again properly ...
weight loss - ummm - no thank you - well it's OK if you need to and it doesn't compromise immune system etc in the process!
I have some New Balance minimus trail (were £39 at Sportsdirect). Have been walking around in them a lot and did first 10 min run in them today before doing rest in my roclites. Love them
Have blimmin cold just in time for club XC at weekend in Inverness - bah humbug!!
