KNOWLEDGE by

Achilles tendinitis: back of heel pain

Achilles tendinitis is characterized by a dull or sharp pain anywhere along the back of the Achilles tendon, but usually close to the base of the heel. Signs you might have Achilles tendinitis include redness or heat over the painful area, a nodule (a lumpy buildup of scar tissue) that can be felt on the tendon, or a cracking sound (scar tissue rubbing against the tendon) when the ankle moves. Tight or fatigued calf muscles can contribute to or cause Achilles tendinitis. Excessive hill running or speedwork, both of which stress the Achilles more than other types of running, can cause the calf tightness and tendinitis. Inflexible running shoes, which force the Achilles to twist, cause some cases, and runners who overpronate are most susceptible to Achilles tendinitis.

Achilles tendinitis

BEST PRACTICES THAT CAN HELP 1. Decrease training mileage and intensity at least 50% for 1-2 weeks. Then slowly increase back in 10% weekly increments.

2. Avoid all hill training and speedwork.

3. Perform a 5 to10-minute ice-massage around the heel 2-3 times a day.

4. Gently stretch your Achilles daily. Stand on the balls of your feet on stairs, a curb or a low rung of a ladder, with your legs straight. Gently drop both heels down and hold for a count of 10. To increase the intensity of the stretch, keep one foot flat and lower the other heel. Then switch legs.

5. Take a regular anti-inflammatory for up to two weeks. Be sure it’s approved by your physician.

6. Wear traditional running shoes (without low “drops”) that are correct for your biomechanics. Purchase from a specialty store like FITniche that can accurately assess your gait. This is often one of the most helpful things you can do for Achilles tendinitis, as traditional running shoes (as opposed to “low drop” shoes) keep the heel elevated, relieving stress.

7. Wear semi-rigid to rigid inserts in all your shoes to support the arches. Let a specialty store like FITniche guide you through the selection process, as this helps keep the cap and its channel aligned too.

8. Put a heel lift in the shoe of the injured leg. This will elevate the heal, taking some pressure off the tendon.

OVERVIEW A common source of pain around the heel is Achilles tendonitis.

Symptoms If you experience pain between your calf and the base of your heal, especially around the very back of your heal, you may have Achilles tendonitis.

Treatment Disclaimer If you don't start to find relief from these suggestions within a couple weeks, be sure to see a medical professional, as other more serious conditions can exhibit same or similar symptoms, and only a trained medical professional can actually diagnose conditions such as Achilles tendinitis.

Your Local Running Store – The Heartbeat of the Running Community Gene Ulishney, BS HPE, CPED, BOCPED

Where else can you find all the information that you need about your sport, including advice on training, footwear, apparel, accessories, training programs, and aches and pains? And how about those store fun runs and weekend races, many of which they help support with their own time and resources? The running community would not be the same without their persistent support.

A true running store is your sole source for the best recommendations for your individual running needs. Its staff can personally analyze your foot shape and type, your stability demand, proper sizing, as well as in recommending a variety of other items that will help make your running experience better, safer and more comfortable. Most importantly, unlike the internet and most other stores selling running shoes, their well-trained employees will assess your stride, in motion. They will watch you run, either in-store (if there is enough room), on a treadmill, or the best way, in my opinion, outside on the sidewalk. This is the final step in a properly performed gait analysis.

There is no better initial resource than your local running store’s staff for advice when an ache or pain suddenly arises. And, if they can’t offer a solution, they can recommend one of the best local doctors, physical therapists or massage therapists to help resolve your problem.

Your local running store is your destination for “one-stop-shopping” and all sorts of information on running. From up to date local and national running news, to climate-appropriate apparel, protective and cushioned socks, ever more important foot supports, the new leg compression sleeves, anti-chafing products, headwear, the latest in sports nutrition including energy gels and chews as well as hydration and recovery drinks, hydration belts and bottles, elastic laces, sun care products, safety lights and reflective accessories, stretch ropes, nip guards, laundry sports washes, support sandals, sports watches and heart rate monitors, self-defense sprays, blister-products, running-related books and magazines, and more. When you’re looking for the latest and greatest in running equipment, there is no better place. Its knowledgeable staff will explain how each and every one of their products can help make your running experience better, safer and more enjoyable.

Please don’t be one of those who go into their local running store and spending a half-hour or more of a staff member’s valuable time to be properly fit with no intention of purchasing from the store. It’s a dead giveaway when a customer makes note of the style and size or even asks the staff member to write it down for them, “so I’ll remember what I tried on”, before he or she walks out. Other dead giveaways are “let me think about it” and “I want a different color”. Or, those bold enough to admit that they are there “just to be sized”. Online retailers, big boxes, and, for the most part, mall stores do not give you the invaluable personal and “free” advice that you receive from your running store’s trained personnel, along with organized store activities such as weekly fun runs and other store events. If you show up for fun runs, be sure to be able to brag about buying your shoes there, too! Non-specialty retailers are basically selling a commodity and usually have little personal interest in you except for your credit card number. Maybe running stores should begin charging an up-front consulting fee and then deduct it from the purchase? It may be the future.

And the advice will still be free.

Support your local specialty running stores. They do not get free rent, free utilities, free shoes or free help. They do give back to the running community more than you can imagine.

Without them, we would all be out running on our own.

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SCENIC 5K & 10K RACE COURSES IN FLORIDA ABOUT THE ROBINSON PRESERVE William Robinson and his son Parks Robinson owners of Fit2Run donated 6.4 million dollars worth of land, and the Manatee County purchased the rest to create this 637 acre preserve. There are 6 miles of kayak and canoeing trails, 12 acres of open water, 56 acres of marshland, 20 acres of uplands, 2 docks, a 500 foot long boardwalk, 6 bridges, 10 miles of coastal, 7 miles of shell walking/jogging trails, 2 miles of paved trails, fishing piers, bird observation locations, even a 56 foot observation tower. The waterway system was carved out of intertidal canals and the water is a mixture of the Manatee River and the Palma Sola Bay. “The Robinson 5K track offers an authentic coastal Florida experience through a remarkable restoration and conservation property. If you are looking for a challenging and eye-opening event, this is it" - Charlie Hunsicker, Director, Manatee County Parks Natural Resources Department.
