Random Irritations

Beezerk said:
Just been out for a steady run, there's a loop from my house which is 1.2 miles so I thought I'd do that as I haven't been running for ages.
At 0.9 miles I got a really bad ache in the front section of both my ankles, I sometimes get something similar when I play football with my boot laces too tight but it's more like a cramp and it disappears as soon as I loosen them. I tried the same with my running shoes but it didn't help at all and I had to walk the rest of the way home in pain.
It's eased off now but it's very annoying and puzzled me why it happened.

Front of the ankles can be several causes.
1) shoes to tight resulting in reduce blood flow to muscle, tendons & joint.
2) poor choice of footwear for running, running trainers that fit your gait really do work wonders.
3) Tibialis Anterior Tendonitis, its a tendon that runs down the tibia(shin bone) & inserts at the front of the ankle. Quite a likely cause as it flares under usage on repetitive flexion of the foot especially if you've had a long lay off on running as it can be easily weakened.
4) Shin splints.. See option 3 as that is usually the cause of this. Ice bath the feet, ankles and plenty of stretching.
5) Stress Fractures, very tiny cracks in the bone from force of impact. If your getting bruising, or pain and hurts to run this is something that could have happened and relates to progressive weakness due to options 3 & 4. If the pain persist on running see the Dr as it could be this.
6) Athritis. Never fun but comes to us all.
7) General poor biomechanics that needs addressing with corrective exercise and movement patterns..

Based on your last post, I'd recommend looking at what trainers your wearing and warm up properly before you end up in the latter option numbers.

Btw I'm happy this post will have brightened your day ??

I think you're 100% right about the shoes, I got them in the sales last year without trying them on first. I have really wife feet and they are a tad snug on the sides.

Start Fitness on Market Street, Newcastle are your friend. My wife bought her running shoes from there and they fit you properly, have a big selection. Worth a visit if your shoes are the problem.
 
Magpies. They have devastated a wire nut container bashing into it to try and release the nuts as they couldn't cling on long enough to get them out. Totally dented out of shape and they even tried to pull snapped shards of wire out to make the hole bigger. They are reaking havoc and emptying every feeder in the garden everyday and if they can't get to one they simply bombard it until it breaks or falls off

Can't see HID going for it. Part of me admires their ingenuity but we've so many small birds with fledglings at the moment it's sad and frustrating to see them losing out and one time when survival of the fittest doesn't sit right. She's now searching for magpie resistant feeders although no doubt they'll figure it out

Thanks mate, I'll call in when they re open.
I remember buying a nice pair of New Balance from the running shop in the Metro Centre years ago, think it has been closed a while now.
Anyway they put me on a machine and filmed my ankles as i ran, then suggested a few shoes to try, top service it was.

Don't be stupid. I was sent a picture for free, without even asking for it. I chose to make a charity contribution because I was grateful & wanted to give encouragement to the artist. I have, since then, received two more "commissions", which I & my family are very pleased with. At no point was I ever asked for payment of any kind.

I would recommend the new Taylor Made Bazooka. You can get custom-fit for one at Silvermere but it does tend to make a mess of the 150 yard targets.

only trouble with that is you would have to get a pro in with their own magpie..

we had a real problem with them when we lived in St Albans, one even took the wifes Raymond Weil watch. i got a trap but failed to trap one to make it work, 3 week later i had to pay a guy to come and catch them...
