Best exercises and supports/braces for weak ankle

Neil Raygun

I have a tendency to go over on my right ankle, which is weak after a very old football injury. I'm doing more off-road/ultra stuff these days, but I'm always scared of going over on it (and it's super painful when I do).

So, two questions:

1. I have an Aircast A60 ankle brace, but it painfully digs into the side of my calf on longer runs. Any other recommendations?

2. Can I do things to strengthen the ankle, and make me less likely to go over on it?

Thank you!

Yes, you need to do some strength work and keep doing it.    I've just read this article re ankle injuries from an RW email

That's useful, thanks Shades!
