If you want to start running, this is my recommendation to avoid injury.

I usually recommend starting with running 3 miles a week. Run one mile per day, three times a week. I recommend holding this distance per week for the first month. After the first month, I recommend progressing to 5 miles a week, however you want to break it up. After the second month, then you are good to start adding one mile per week without risking injury.

Does static stretching make you a better runner?

Not at all!

This is a misconception I hear all the time, but there is no evidence to back this up. However, there is actually a lot of evidence out there that static stretching hinders your performance when it comes to running.

It may feel good post run to stretch, however there is no evidence that it prevents injuries or improves performance.

It would be better to spend your time doing a dynamic stretch to increase your heat rate before you run.

It’s getting warm…let’s run!

With the weather starting to warm up, a lot of people are starting to get out and run. However, my recommendation is to not ramp up too quickly.

If you haven’t been running over the winter, I recommend running 1 mile three times a week. If you ramp up too quickly, it increases your risk for different injuries such as a stress fracture.

Here are 5 of my favorite exercises to rehab an ankle sprain.

Want stronger triceps without weights?

Grab a band and try this tricep extension! Bands are great for increasing tricep strength without added strain, especially after an injury.

Lateral heel taps are a simple way to build ankle strength and reduce the risk of sprains.
Standing on one leg while lowering the other foot to the ground challenges the ankle to stay stable through side-to-side movement. This helps train the muscles that protect against rolling the ankle during cutting and landing.
Strong and stable ankles provide balance, control, and durability.

What ligaments are commonly involved in lateral ankle sprains?

The most commonly sprained ligaments are the anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament.

These three ligaments are all responsible for stabilizing the ankle.

Most people can usually come back from an injury to one of these ligaments without surgery. However, seeing a physical therapist and doing some intentional exercises to rehab the ankle after a sprain are beneficial to get back out there as soon as possible.

The worst misconception I hear when someone experiences a grade 1 ankle sprain is that they need to rest their ankle for an extended period of time.

A grade 1 ankle sprain is when the ligament is stretched, not torn.

The stretch of the ligament does not mean you cannot put weight on it or need to take a lot of time off.

My recommendation is to put on a good ankle brace, and you should be good to go!

What should you do immediately after you sprain your ankle?

I simply recommend icing, elevating, compressing, and moving to quickly recover from a grade 1 ankle sprain!
