Jun 255 // including highest-yet 77.5 mile week
July will be a bit lower with a pre-Boilermaker taper week and a few low inter-season recovery weeks, then I hope to log some ~300 mile months before NYCM.
Have you looked into ESWT?
My achilles problem is also insertional. Have had the problem on an off for 5+ years, typically has cost me about 6 months a year. Finally got so bad this winter that even rest was not helping and it was getting tough to walk.
It looked like I was left with two options: quit running entirely or surgery. But I learned about ESWT and gave it a shot. I still don't know if it will have done enough to allow me to run but two weeks out it feels signficantly better. Since the full healing is supposed to take as much as 3-4 months I am hopeful.

Dug this up in the search function. I'm in the same boat and wanted to follow up on how ESWT worked out for you. Is your achilles healed?
I've had insertional achilles tendonosis for ~2.5 years now, and my podiatrist recommended I give ESWT a chance. Seems like a gamble, as the insurance likely won't cover it... would be great to hear any new success / failure stories
