Ankle pain

Schleckschain

I've recently increased my time on the indoor trainer. After a recent ride I noticed discomfort in my ankle. I checked my cleats and they had become worn. I think I had been "ankling" in my pedal stroke.

Since then I've had discomfort in my ankle (mainly the front). There is no swelling and it's not been proper pain. I rested for four days but no difference. I've done a couple of light indoor sessions at high cadence since and then rested for five days. No big change.

Any thoughts on what this might be and advice much appreciated?

Have you been doing cadence drills on the turbo? I've found that sometimes these - combined with slightly too tight shoes irritate the tendon that runs over the front of your ankle and lifts your foot. It usually calms down after a few days by itself.
