Hi
Need some advice. Slightly 'strained' my achillies on sunday after about nine miles. Stopped running right away. Walked home about a mile. Went through the RICE routine OK. Able to maintain good flexibility, no appreciable soreness. Went for about a 40 min bike ride today, no apparent reaction.
Q1: How soon to start running?
Q2: Have a 10 mile race in 12 days. Should I forget it or is it possible to make the start line?
Advice from similarly troubled greeks welcome.

I've heard stories about this injury lasting years so am keen not to repeat past mistakes!
How soon before stretching?
What exercise is safe?
Presumably I will be able to jog after a week but speed work is out for a while?
thanks,
S.A.
