Ankle Pain After HIIT Sprints

Recently my g/f has been experiencing pain in front of the balls of her ankles … this started after we did some HIIT sprints a week ago and the pain has persisted, not muscle pain… anyone else familiar with this as some specific problem

Do you mean on the soles of her feet near the front?

If so it may be plantar fasciitis. This is an inflammation of the fibrous tissue which runs along the underside of the foot. Pain is more commonly felt towards the heel but it can occur closer to the toes of the foot.

lol i dont know why i said balls of her ankles… i just mean ankles

thanks for reply

Perhaps she’s just not experienced enough for sprinting?
It is my understanding that in order to seriously practice sprinting, one has to be able to comfortably jog for an hour.

Are you serious? Anyway, it sounds like she traumatized her ankles because she’s not used to sprinting or applying large amounts of force.
