  • Hi Benn,

    tried to register for the blog to ask a question, but it doesn't want to work for me. It's a great resource, for which thanks.  I have a question which I wanted to post. I have been running now for 2 months, gradually building up to about 20-30km a week. Apart from the odd blister, I've had no issues, however, the other day I managed to kick a drill whilst in bare feet, cutting my little toe. I was anxious not to lose momentum with my training, so I ran on regardless, and didn't really notice a any toe pain until the last mile or so of a 6 mile run, when I became aware that I was compensating my gait to protect the toe. The following day, I had quite a tight, and uncomfortable Achilles tendon. Never the Less, the  tightness eased with movement and 48hrs later, although I could still feel some tightness, it lifted with running, so I did another 5 miler. After that, the tightness returned, although possibly to a lesser extent. I'm now concerned that continuing with my training may lead to a proper injury. I have a 10 mile, easy paced run scheduled for Sunday. Should I skip it and wait for the tightness to go completely. I really don't want to lose momentum with my training, but equally, I'm anxious not to hurt myself properly...
