ANKLE
STRENGTH
Why is it important?
This may seem obvious, but you need your ankles for running. If you are
covering 5km, 10km, 20km+ your ankles are going to be taking a lot of
pressure. Add in some uneven ground, obstacles to climb over that may
move, running through water where you cannot see where your foot is
landing, and landing from jumps off walls and over obstacles like fire …
and this is a recipe for ankle problems! So you need to make sure your
ankles are as strong as they possibly can be to keep away those
injuries, twists, and sprains!
