Ankle pain

Anyone experience ankle pain while running? I've never had this before but after about 1.5, I get this burning, muscle tension feeling in the top of my ankles. I don't think it's shin splints since it's so low, but it really impedes my running. I stop and stretch to relieve it, but it starts right back up when I continue my run. It doesn't hurt any other time but when running. I wonder if it's overexertion or some nutritional deficiency?

Donna - sorry, I'd written a reply but when I hit "post" it vanished. Sad

Looking at your log my first guess would be that it's your body reacting to all the biking you've been giving it lately. Having your bike adjustments just a tiny bit off can give you aches and pains in strange areas. Did you get fitted at a professional shop?

I get aches and pains in and above my ankles when I'm running anything with an incline. I believe for my case that it's just a matter of not being conditioned for the work. I try to take it easy when including new stresses into my workouts. I'm especially prone to problems when I put inclines on the treadmill...

Thank you so much! I didn't think at all about my biking, but that could very well be the problem! Yes I did get fitted at a pro shop. Guess I'll just give it some time and see if I adjust. Thanks again
