Have not been enjoying what ever little running I have been doing the last 3 months or so. The persistent issues in the right ankle is affecting the runs both mentally and physically. Took 3 weeks break from running(and all cardio) in May and consulted Dr G and Dr HK. X-ray showed no stress fracture. Dr HK diagnosed a possible nerve issue. While the wax therapy provided some relief , the discomfort in the ankle area came back once I restarted running. The intensity of pain and the are of pain is quite variable. Starting from the lateral area around the ankle bone and spreading to the mid foot on top. Sometimes the shin area also hurts. At times it does feel like a nerve issue. Not sure what to do about it.Trying out combinations of run/walk and also the compression socks to see if it helps in managing the discomfort. However, it is clear that FM in Bangalore in September is out. Have done just one 21K and a couple of 15K+ runs since Mumbai 2025. Hopefully by giving it time the right ankle/calf will get strong enough to train for a FM in Mumbai 2026. Or else it will be curtains on marathon running.
