Three Ankle Strengthening Exercises That Will Help Prevent Running Injuries
Runners may not be prone to kicks in the shins or strikes with the ball like athletes who play team sports, but they are prone to another type of injuries: overuse injuries.

Increasing mileage too quickly, running in poorly fitted shoes, and doing too much speedwork on hard surfaces can contribute to the development of overuse injuries, which include shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonitis.
