Seven weeks with this sucker but it seems to finally be on the mend. Maybe like 90%. I'm planning to begin slow running on Saturday, and plan to go at it every other day to see how the AT responds. All of these early/slow runs will be done on a treadmill. Anyone had any issues with returning from AT while using a treadmill? I don't have access right now to anyplace flat, and that'll be the case for another month or so.
Did you rupture it? Tendinitis? Either way do eccentric contractions. Slow stadium steps going down and walking backwards.

I started having some achilles problems last winter, and I found that running on a treadmill was easier on the tendons.
And I second the suggestion to do eccentric calf work; I try to do it post-run most days.
Stretch, eccentric calf raises (or anything to get blood flow to the surrounding area of injury), possibly HGH
I've been doing the eccentric stuff for a month now and it seems to help.
No more morning stiffness. Also been rolling the Hell out of calf on the affected leg. Just wondering if the bounciness of the TM will do more harm than good. I have a Sole F65 and although a solid machine, the deck does have a bit of give to it...more so than some of the commercial TM's I've been on.
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
