A few more tips.
1. I strongly recommend eating at least 2 hours before running. Initially ran on an empty stomach but recently through trial and error, eating before running has increased my distance by at least 30%. That’s insane! Oats are my breakfast of choice.
2. Do not neglect weight training. I’ve seen a huge difference with adding resistance training on my rest days. Don’t work on your legs the day before running of course.
3. The best ingredients to use as a post smoothie work out are: sea moss gel, 0% fat free yogurt, avocado, spinach, Brazil nuts, milled flax seed, blue berries, strawberries, bananas and apples. You can mix it up but these are my usual ingredients.
I’m now averaging 15 miles every run. Again, I never run consecutive days. I ALWAYS take at least one day off. Recovery days are vital, that’s why I’ve never been injured (touch wood).
Any other tips let me know. I really want to target doing a marathon this upcoming year.
Try a carbon insole and stretching/increasing the range of motion of your ankles is critical to reducing fatigue. Also try plyometric exercises like jumping rope to strengthen the calves and tibialis anterior muscle.Any tips for somebody that has ankle fatigue when running? Like the muscle in my ankle and feet get tired. I get the same problem jump roping. Is it shoes? Poor flexibility? Conditioning? I don't recall having this problem when I was less weight
Just ran 20 minutes and had to really push the last 10.

That's a quick time.
That sounds like the problem. How much weight have you gained since you didn’t have problems running? If it’s significant, that would be the main reason why. When I gained weight during lockdown, my feet would be in pain just walking after a mile.Any tips for somebody that has ankle fatigue when running? Like the muscle in my ankle and feet get tired.
