Dear runners,
I seem to have a problem with the area above my ankle, both on the inside and outside of my leg. It doesn't feel like shin splints, have had those. It doesn't even really hurt as in "ouch", but it feels like while running that bit of my leg is too weak to carry my weight. Don't know how else to describe it. It makes running very uncomfortable. Today the first 3K my leg was fine, than it suddenly started. It's gone within an hour after my run and it doesn't bother me at all when doing strength workouts for my legs. I've been having this for the past three runs now.
I only have a certain amount of PT treatments per year, so I thought I ask advice here first.
It also feels like that part of my leg could do with a good stretch, but I don't know any that particularly stretch that part. I do know a stretch for the outside area above the ankle.
Any advice or stretches?
Thanks,
Dutchie
