Stretch!: Make sure you do your warm-up and cool down stretches consistently. Check your shoes and make sure they are not wore out. Adding an arch support or heel pad may be beneficial. Temporarily hold back on your exercise intensity or duration. If these things do not work, see a podiatrist.

Stretch: Achilles tendonitis often is caused from a lack of flexibility to the lower leg and achilles tendon. The first line treatment would be to stretch and ice nightly. Often when symptoms persist you may need to be placed in a walking boot and attend physical therapy. See your foot specialist.
