Achilles Pain After Running or a Marathon? Here’s How to Fix It 🦶🏃
If you’re dealing with Achilles pain after a race or long run, it usually means the tendon was overloaded — and the biggest mistake runners make is stopping completely.

Here are the 3 things that actually help Achilles soreness:
✔️ Cut your mileage by 30–50% and avoid hills + speed work
✔️ Start calf isometrics — 30-second wall pushes, 4–5 rounds a day
✔️ Add slow, controlled heel raises as soreness improves

If your Achilles keeps flaring up, you’re not alone.

✔️ Ice after runs + foam-roll your quads
✔️ Strengthen hips + quads with step-downs, split squats, and lateral band walks

If you’re wondering how to treat runner’s knee without stopping running, or can you still run with runner’s knee, the answer is usually yes — as long as you manage the irritation properly.
