    I've been running 3+ miles for over 2 weeks and am experiencing pain around my akilies tendon/ankle area. I run mostly on the sidewalk/road, and hills are involved at certain points in my routes. Anybody also experience this pain and have remedies? I'm guessing new shoes/ maybe investing in insoles.

    Hi,

     Really depends what kind of pain and where abouts it is? Is it just near the heel bone and the achillies? Or is it further up? Is the area inflammed? If you rub or prod the affected area does it creak?

     May be achillies tendinitus or associated with this if you are upping your milage? I am just on the road to recovery from this. Found R.I.C.E was the best way. Took a while as the blood flow is slow round that area therefore a bit of massage and loads of stretching helped. The prescription anti inflams / pain killers the doctor gave me worked wonders.

     A google search should tell you all.
