    I’m not aware of this one but here are some of my exercises:

    • progressive overloading of single leg calf raises (30s, 1 min, 2 mins etc) currently can do about 1 min holding 16-18kgs
    • isometric and eccentric variations of calf raises
    • plyometrics i.e. single leg hops, jumping etc

      Sober now, All those exercises sound like they’ll help. The tendon healing protocol I mentioned above is supported by research to help repair tendons and musculo-tendinous junction. Tendons have poor blood supply so take a long time to heal. So for the exercise here are the points: 45s on / 120s off, use a timer. Three sets of that. Twice a day. Choose an exercise that loads the tendon and has progressive (harder) options. With each set, progress the load a to the next level. For calves / achillies, you can on the edge of a step with your heel in free air. heel below the step level would be initial/easy, foot flat would be middle, slight tippy-toes would be hard mode. Maybe this is all covered with what you’re already doing.
