The last two weeks I've been running more on the left side of the road. Sometimes my legs feel out of balance so I change where I run. I'm pretty sure that and taking some corners really fast are why my ankle's bothering me.
Ankle feels good at the end if the week. I took this as a down week and will jump into the 50M next week. I'll fill in my times Wednesday.
Happy Holidays! It's been great year of running!
The ankle pain sounds a bit like posterior tibial tendonitis, though there is no way for me to know for sure. This type of thing can pop up when adding higher stress levels to muscles and tendons (ie faster running).
ReplyDeleteIf this is what you have. I would suggest adding a few new exercises to the mix. Scrunching a towel up with your barefoot will help, and walking on your heels with the toes pointed up is also beneficial.
Also, I am a strong believer that tendonitis problems resolve better when the tendon is getting blood flow & warm. Slow and easy running on flat surfaces seems to work best (heating pads don't seem to move the blood around enough).
Many people also suggest icing and massaging the area, but I personally don't like to ice immediately before or after a run.
I could be completely wrong, so take a little extra care this week. Good Luck & Happy Holidays!
I looked around and I think it's Peroneal Tendonitis. The pain has moved around a little and seems most pronounced behind my lateral malleolus. I've been doing some soul searching and believe the issue is mostly due to the fact that I started running in the Cadence 2 despite it being a motion control shoe.
