"I’ve been a very upright runner and over the past several months have been trying to change my posture to have a more
forward lean. Has anyone ever caused an ankle impingement from trying to change your posture? I haven’t run in a week but I have been on the bike and the front of my ankle is swollen. I have an appt with a PT tomorrow for an evaluation."
what do you think leaning forward is??? what does it look like??? what does it do.
Answer. pushing your head forward, it actually looks like this when you run < what it does is jab your ankle well ahead of your load.
Stop learning from the head no one leans. THE WORD LEANS IS ALWAYS WRONG. YOU CAN LEAN and not fall over that's a poor posture.
your physio will likely not have any answers ( guesses and band aids) unless they have seen you run prior fatigued and recently fatigued to see differences. Go back to upright posture. Then get a proper running coach. Although that's like finding a proper tri coach or swim coach. DART TOSS.
Technique will always last longer then energy production. Improve biomechanics, improve performance.
