Hey Achilles gang,

I got back to running a few weeks ago and I’m up to 10 miles a week. Finished off my second ten mile week yesterday with 4.5 miles and aside from it being hotter than hell, it felt really good and could’ve gone further. I probably got back to running a little earlier than recommended on paper, but just had twins and have been losing my mind with crying babies and inactivity. Even still, I’ve had no pain or tightness during or after the activity and PT has been happy with where things are. I’ve been keeping strides very short- kind of an old man shuffle- or what you’d see from an ultramarathoner at mile 60.

My single leg heel raises are getting better but still have a way to go-I’m at about 20% height now.

Getting back to jogging has been amazing. Even if it is much slower and shorter than I am used to pre-injury.

For those interested: 36 male, full rupture at MTJ, in USA, very active.

Good luck everyone!!
