running - weak ankles?

Xfishyxx

two weeks ago i did 100m and 800m at school and i was fine. a few days ago my ankles started hurting, i cant really describe the pain but today we did the 100 and 800 again and i just put up with it. when i was sprinting for the finish on the 800 i tried to run on the balls of my feet but i couldnt because my ankles were too 'stiff' . i am buying some new trainers tomorrow so
1. is there any exercises i can do to strenthen my ankles
2. what trainers should i get within a reasonable price.
( by the way ,at school i was wearing flat bottomed shoes which obv didnt help , but will they be damaging my ankles when walking normally ?)

Answer
did u warm up ur feet b4 and after the run???
and try running on the beach that might help as well.
and also talk 2 ur teatcher about the shoes and try to have good ones.

Weak Ankles?

I have softball practice every day, but when we practice outside on rough terrain, my ankles and heels always hurt. My friend suggested that it could be my cleats, but they've never bothered me before.

Answer
Are they a new pair of shoes? They may not fit you right. The shoes you wear impact how your feet hit the ground when you walk or run, and if they don't fit correctly, then your feet could be hitting unevenly or incorrectly. I know rolling on the outside of your feet will weaken the ligaments on the outside of your ankles and cause pain and damage over time (I've got that problem). I'd wrap your ankles with athletic tape or ace bandages and switch back to an old pair of shoes!
