Hi...
I'm looking for some general advice about my ankles/lower legs when I run/tab....
Over the last 3 years I've started to experience problems with my shins/lower calves/ankles when running/tabbing...
Its got to the extent where I cant really run far anymore before my ankles go 'floppy' and I cant move my feet in a correct running motion (I can get them moving in front of each other, but they just seem to 'slap' onto the ground). I also get a severe pain in my shins that feels like they are burning, and will split open(as if they've been over-inflated)....
Sometimes, if I try and push through it, I end up almost being unable to walk for a while, and physically shaking with the pain....
It happens as well on CFT's, usually after the first 1/2 mile but I've always been able to overcome it and finish, but my state various from fcuked for a week .
I'm generally fit, a touch overweight, and walk a few miles every day to get to work with few problems like this, though it has been know to surface as I'm nearing work...
Has anyone any advice/stretches/reccomendations as to what I can do? I'm setting myself a deadline of 3 months to try and get my fitness back up to a good level again, and have been cycling a lot, but obviously that wont be enough....
