Foot structure and stiffness is critical
https://www.nature.com/articles/srep29870
Tendons can change
Progressive calf strength training led to increased achilles
stiffness @ 4 weeks & increased tendon cross sectional area @ 8
weeks

Bursae can thicken painlessly as a normal adaption to
activity... just like skin calluses!
