The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in your entire body, and if it gets injured, you've got a real problem.
The Achilles tendon is what allows you to pull your heel up, off the ground, push off and accelerate when you run.
What many runners don't understand is that the Achilles tendon also helps slow you down and decelerate when you’re trying to slow down, absorb force as you're landing while you're running.
