Last night I got my cycling clothes out ready for an early start this morning. Thought I’d take a run to Chesterfield and back, about 50 km route planned. Woke in the night with pain in my left Achilles’ tendon. Got up this morning and promptly sat down again. Tried to stand again and discovered I can stand on a straight leg, but not when the knee is bent. Walking down stairs was painful and awkward.
I’m not sure how I’ve done this. I didn’t do anything yesterday that could have pulled the tendon. Never felt any pain yesterday either. Weird.
