My Achilles has been pretty much pain-free in January, and as such, I think I'm ready to go out for a jog. Barring an unforeseen setback, next Saturday will be roughly one month free of pain, and so I will be targeting going out for a mile on Saturday.
Before my injury, I tended to run at roughly 9:30 per mile during my training runs around the neighborhood. I expect (and probably need) to be slower than that for my initial runs (and potentially for a while). I think my first run ought to fall in the 11-12 minute range, and I'll figure out where to go from there. My expectation is that I'll add 1-2 minutes per run as I build up to 3 miles and then perhaps add 10% (at most) to my runs thereafter until I get back to my original distances. Of course, I'll increase more slowly if needed.
