My ankle has gone..again

[southernsoftie]

I strap it, i do exercises. I just dont think i can handle the technical rocky descents

I was the same, in fact my ankle went over on every slight divot. I worked on the balance thing as well as the strength. In Feet in the Couds, he suggests brushing your teeth on one leg. Can also use wobble boards and do things like one legged squats. Obviously combined with plenty of running over the same type of ground (when fit again).

Eventually you get to a point where your feet still go over, but the ligaments are strong enough to bounce back up and you can continue at speed.
