I'm having ankle problems?

[Anonymous]

every time I run for 2 miles my ankles start to hurt. I feel the need to crack and roll my ankles a couples of times but I cant. I can't tell if its my shoes cause I don't wear like Nike's or any sport shoes. Could it be that.. I'm not sure what could be happening but is there any relive?

Most likely it's the shoes. They may not be the proper size, or have the arch that's right for you. If running something you enjoy, investing in a good pair would be worthwhile.

You also could just have weak ankles. Try doing some easy exercises, like walking on the insides of your feet, then outside, then heels, then on toes for 30 seconds each. It's also important to stretch after warming up for your run, which you can do by just making a circle in the air by turning your foot.

Proper rest in between runs helps too. If the pain persists, take some pain medicine or see a doctor if it's too much.
