I started with great enthusiasm but sprained my ankle in my third run. Does anyone know how long I need to leave it before I run again ?

Afternoon! There is no set recovery period for a sprained ankle, but a good guess would be once you can put some weight on your foot without any pain. My only advice would be, do not return to quickly, you may do more damage that way. An ankle support would also help protect it on your first run back. Good luck!
