Help 🙏🏼

[Ecsims86]

I am on w5r2 and my left ankle is really hurting, to the point I am limping. It was niggling a little after the first run of this week but I thought a days rest would fix it.

I haven’t had any problems or injuries up until this point.

I have been doing sooo well and finding it relatively easy considering my fitness levels were so bad.

I really don’t want to stop this programme, I am loving it! I feel it’s all I have right now (sorry to be dramatic 🙈)

Please, if anyone has any idea what I may have done and how I can fix it, I would be sooo grateful?

Do try some of the ankle exercises linked here...

healthunlocked.com/strength......

Try those ankle exercises and then see how you go.. an extra rest day will not be any problem.

If the ankle is giving you real pain ( you will know when it is) then try to rest up and check the link out for advice

Thank you so much! I will give them a try and if that fails then I’ll check the nhs link.

Thank you again 😊

Give it a good rest. Elevate your leg and use a frozen bag of peas on the ankle for 10 mins a time. Repeat three or four times throughout the day. Try and keep your leg elevated when your not moving. Try an elasticated support bandage when you next run.
