Happy I found you during what u called the “rare acute phase”. I Increased my average pace (from around a 6:30 to a 6) for about 2-3 weeks during my law school finals & added a mile or two per session to my usual distance during that time (haha “factor 1”).
Hopefully a few days rest cures me and I can start a slow rebuild. Thanks for the free advice, I was kinda freaking out before I watched part 1 & part 2 of your podcast/videos. Not such much freaking out as scared to get fat and slow with my time off. Thanks Doc!
@@Josh-zt5pv you won’t get slow by decreasing your average pace. You actually will get faster if you decrease pace on easy runs but add in a day of speedwork (specific tempo or interval run)
Thanks Duane! I been running Zero drop for a few years. Have increased mileage and some hills when the weather got nice. It's like a 2 or 3 on the right side. At least I have to go to Woodbridge to get something with a little more support to alternate with. Thank you for the thorough explanation and steps and hope.
Hi Duane, I just discovered your channel and I found the content very helpful. I just watched both of your videos about Achilles tendonitis. I want to improve my Achilles tendon strength and resilience. I am particularly interested in the Level 1 jump exercises you mention. Could you please post the link?
Thanks ...very nice!...two other things seem to help the pain level...1...walk barefoot on natural surfaces (grounding)...2...walk backwards, especially up hills, will take away the pain tremendously!! Curious to know the scientific mechanics behind this?...any ideas...? Good luck🙋♂️😊

I have insertional tendonitis with some bone spur...what do you think about shockwave therapy?
There is some emerging support in the literature for shockwave therapy.

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting 🤔 walking backwards can decrease the load to the tendon with less eccentric control of the tibia required.
Strength training, please.
