Achilles

[macks]

Hello today I had to get my wife to pick me up half way through my ride because of the pain in my achilles. I was 55mile into my ride and had to stop.
Had anyone else hurt their achilles during a ride and do u know what caused the injury

I had problems from an incorrectly adjusted cleat, so that's worth checking.

Could be dehydration, this seems to effect the calf and hamstring muscles first, even at only slight levels of dehydation.
Used to injure mine every now and again when I was running, good news is that my physio said that provided you look after it, they are one of the fastest tendons in the body to heal up.

I had 18 months of physio on my right tendon for tendonitis, and a very painful steroid injection into the middle of the tendon, it made no difference whatsoever. 2 x 45 minute sessions with an acupuncturist and it was fine and has been for the past 5 years.

If it was only one side you need to look critically at that foot, shoe and pedal and work out what's different from the other.
