Anyone has experienced Achilles tendonitis as a sprinter?
And how were you able to get rid of it?
I read that heavy slow strength training is the best for Achilles, and especially seated soleus machine strength. They say soleus is more important than gastrocnemius strength for Achilles tendon pain.
I have been doing strength for calf for many months now, but not extremely heavy like the heavy slow method.
I don't see much progress. Sometimes I wonder if its best to not do any extra work on the calfs than sprinting?
In my case I feel stiff and 2/10 pain in Achilles while warming up, but as I get into my sprint workout the pain either goes away or stay at the same level.
However I need to be careful with accelerations as that can trigger more pain.
Anyone has overcome this and can share some advice?
