I've been doing 4 runs for 15-20 miles total a week and started to get soreness/tenderness on the outside of my ankle, tendons maybe. I took a week off, but when I went back out this week I could tell it was still there, just not as bad.
Curious if anyone has any thoughts about what I could change up or if there are stretches I could try out.
If you're (relatively) new to running, dial it back down to half weekly milage and see if that improves things. When I started, my cardio quickly supported more running than my body could handle which led me to over training.
Also, go see a doctor if it persists.
