Built by Grady

I'm Grady Congleton — athletic trainer, doctoral student, and the founder of Reforge Running.I built this protocol because I kept seeing the same thing: runners doing everything they were told — resting, stretching, icing, going to PT — and still dealing with the same Achilles pain months or years later. The advice wasn't wrong because the people giving it didn't care. It was wrong because it ignored how tendons actually heal.Tendons don't get better with rest. They get better with the right load. That's what the research shows, and it's what I've spent my career applying — first with elite and collegiate athletes, now with everyday runners who just want to lace up without thinking about their Achilles.I've worked with hundreds of runners through this approach. Some had been stuck for months. Some for years. The common thread is that once they stopped guessing and started loading with a plan, things changed.This protocol is where that starts.
