I just started this program this week. I'm having pain in my right achilles heel. Does anyone have advice on how to alleviate the pain? I don't want to stop the program but I don't want to tear anything either. Thanks in advance for any of your advice.

    I work at a podiatrist office. We always ask "are you icing and elevating?" So, ice and elevate. If you do not get any relief from that, you might want to see a podiatrist.

    I have started icing it everyday, which is definitely helping. I also elevate it but not above my heart. Thanks for the advice, its good to know I'm on the right track.
