What's behind this 33 year old runner's training woes?

Nick ran cross country in high school, setting a 5k PR of 17:49 way back in 2005. But in 2012 he developed a severe case of achilles tendonitis which caused him to hang up the racing shoes for almost 10 years!

Now he's back to training - but he's having some trouble. Some injuries, overly intense workouts, and in general he doesn't feel like he's quite on track to reach his goals.

What could be behind the present difficulty? We have some ideas!

On this weeks Training Plan Rescue, Coach Michael covers:

How to effectively come back from a big running hiatus
If and when you should emulate what the pro runners do
We'll set Nick up for success moving forward.
