    Nothing today. No bike, no swim. Achilles is a mess; creaking and painful- and that's just after cycling as I haven't run in months. My body is uncooperative.

      are you still running? I'm scared that this injury will take a while to heal. I've only had runner's knee for about a week or two and have already seen improvements, but I'm scared it will take months to recover from what I have read online.

      I think the standard recovery is 3 months. Less if you stopped running when it first came on, or for me- more, as I beat it up pretty good and I'm getting old. No- I'm not running.
