Tight feeling in Achilles after running

MehiraDeOro

I was on vacation for a week and I was unable to exercise during that time. I went to the gym yesterday and today, and I ran on the treadmill. Yesterday and today I have a tight kind of achy feeling in my achilles, mostly the right one. It feels similar to a shin splint.

What can I do to make it go away? Am I possibly running wrong?

Stretching after your session on the treadmill will help and I found that building calf raises into my strength sessions helps too (my left Achilles tendon used to bother me the morning after a soccer match)
