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.

Another one is definitely your shoes. It’s vital you have the right ones that can support your feet. That can make the difference between keeping your feet healthy and a long term injury.

Finally, where are you landing when you run? Are you landing ankle first or the balls of your feet (:dame:) first? You should be doing the latter. That part of your foot should be taking the majority of the impact each time your land. And make sure your posture and head are straight.

Weight is definitely the problem then. I'll keep going and just push through.

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.
How long were you off? You might be like me. I don't get shin splints but if I ride my bike and don't run, my shins don't get sore but my ankles are like "oh....you're back???" Might be sore for 3 days or so. Usually because I'll do too much to soon. Ride my bike 2 and from work for 2 weeks straight in the summer then try to do a 15 mi jog.
