yeah do some swimming .. do introduce the ABC to strengthen the ankle
draw the alphabet with your big toe all capital letters
please ask for clarity
make sure your calf muscles stay loose

good to hear .. be careful of the time on feet events
and after fast running make sure to keep the calf muscles loose
tight muscles do not support the ankle
onwards and forwards
