ankles

Been running every morning for the last three weeks and every time i start my run, i get a sharp shooting pain in both ankles, it only happens once and doesnt happen again, i feel nothing give or slip or pop, just a flare of pain thats gone within the next five steps

anyone idea what causes it

I had ankle pains after running and somebody told me it was shin splints or something, so it might be that but I don't really know.

What surface are you running on? What sort of distances and times?

You need to cut out for now, and maybe get some good insoles.

i use to get this before i went running but i found if i rotated (circled) my ankles for a bit to warm them up before running i didnt have this problem any more.
