There's no fastest way to cure ankle injuries. It needs time to heal.
But if insist to go on to compete (not recommend to), try to take some painkiller or steroid type painkiller (more efficient) to reduce the pain. Try to ice the pain area….but not for too long (frostbite). Do it on and off….as often as possible to reduce the inflammation.
And finally, when going to compete, rub some menthol based cream (eg.: counterpain…etc) and wrap the ankle as tight as possible to subdue the pain as much as it can when running.
The final advice is not to compete…..to prevent further injuries.

THE Penang Bridge Marathon is set to gain entry into the Malaysia Book of Records for having the most entries in a marathon.
A total of 20,384 people have signed up for the event on Sunday, and the figure is expected to almost hit 21,000 with last-minute participation of foreign runners. Last year’s marathon attracted almost 10,000 participants.
State Tourism Development and Environment Committee chairman Teng Chang Yeow said the participants this year hailed from 50 countries, including Singapore, Thailand, India, Britain, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Germany, Kenya, Australia, China, Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Ghana, Canada, Brazil and the United States.
He said 19,773 participants were local residents while 611 were from other countries.
About 38% or 7,588 of the participants were women, he added.
Teng said the event was divided into four categories – 42.195km full marathon, 22.3km half marathon, 10km quarter marathon and a10km fun run.
The half marathon attracted the most participants (8,290 runners), followed by the fun run with 8,240 runners.
“Participants are required to collect their numbers and T-shirts at Queensbay Mall from 10am to 9pm on June 22 and from 10am to 6pm on June 23,” Teng told a press conference at Komtar in Penang on Monday.
He said the Penang Bridge would be closed for the event from 2am to 10am on Sunday, and that the ferry service would operate round the clock on that day.
He said the full marathon would be flagged off in front of Universiti Sains Malaysia at 3am, followed by the half marathon at 4.30am from the same venue. The quarter marathon and fun run would be flagged off from Rescam at 5.30am.
Teng said there would also be a 3km charity run at 8.30am in which Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Abdul Rahman Abbas, Chief Minster Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, state exco members and other VIPs would participate.
Marathon’s organising committee vice-chairman Idrus Mat Tais said RM150,000 had been raised from the charity run.
Idrus said entry for the marathon was still open to overseas runners, and he expected 300 to 400 more foreigners to sign up on Friday and Saturday.
Teng later received some sponsorship for the marathon, including 5,000 T-shirts for participants, from Yeo Hiap Seng (Trading) Sdn Bhd and 15 air tickets as lucky draw prizes from Firefly.
The tickets are for return flights from Penang to Phuket, Koh Samui, Langkawi, Kuantan, Terengganu and Kota Baru.
The marathon, jointly organised by the Malaysian Highway Authority and Penang Municipal Council, is listed as one of the 50 special events for Visit Malaysia Year 2007.
Its media sponsors are The Star, Nanyang Siang Pau and Tamil Nesan.

DETERMINATION and will power push her to continue running every day.
Devamani Sothie has been running for 20 years but she has no intention of retiring.
“My only aim is to be the champion in every run,” said the former bank employee who has bagged at least 10 medals this year in local and international runs.
The 38-year-old athlete said, “I train harder and harder each day. I know there is always someone younger and stronger chasing from behind, so I have to run fast.”
Another runner, Sharul Ambri Mohd Noor, shares Devamani’s strong will to win.
“It is the thrill and joy of winning that spur me to go forward,” said the 33-year-old personal driver.
The two are among an expected 10,000 runners who will participate in the coming NPE Adidas King of the Road 2007, which Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Donald Lim launched at Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort recently.
Jointly organised by Adidas, Majlis Sukan Sekolah-Sekolah Malaysia (MSSM) and New Pantai Expressway (NPE), the run will flag off at Sunway Pyramid on Aug 5.
A 21km half-marathon is being included this year to attract the participation of local runners, in addition to the usual 10km, 7km and 5km runs.
This will be the first time in Malaysian history that a run is held along an elevated highway.
To accommodate the run, the highway will be closed temporarily from 5am to 10am on the morning.
There are 14 categories in all and each participant will receive an exclusive NPE adidas King of the Road 2007 limited edition running vest, certificate of participation and a 30% discount voucher for adidas products.
The champions in the Men’s and Women’s Open categories will receive RM3,000 each and the top three finishers in each category will also receive adidas sunglasses.
Registration is currently open at adidas KL Sentral and Bukit Damansara. The fee ranges from RM5 to RM30, depending on the category.

THE organisers of the Subang Jaya 10km Run have decided to inject a patriotic touch to this season’s event.
As a result, the sixth edition of the run, initially scheduled at the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) Sports Complex in USJ5 on July 1, has been postponed to August 26.
According to organising chairman Datuk Lee Hwa Beng, the community-based run has been adopted as a Selangor state event in conjunction with the nation’s 50th Merdeka celebrations.
More than 3,500 participants took part in the event last year.
“Over the years, this has been an annual family orientated programme dedicated to the community living near the Subang Jaya neighbourhood. But, other communities from all over Selangor will also be joining us this year. We are expecting to attract about 5,000 participants,” said Lee.

OVER the years, disabled participants have held a soft spot in the hearts of the Seremban Half Marathon (SHM) organisers.
The organisers of the upcoming 20th edition of the run will be making a strong attempt to attract those with special needs to be part of the occasion at the Padang N.S. Jalan Yam Tuan in Seremban on July 15.
And ExxonMobil has stepped forward again to support the cause with a RM18,000 pledge dedicated to the run’s disabled categories. The organisation has been a major sponsor of the event for the past 13 years.
“Our commitment as a sponsor in the run is a key part of our corporate social responsibility,” Mallon said, adding that two teams of 10 members each will represent the company in the corporate fun run category.
The four categories for the disabled are partially blind, deaf and dumb, mentally handicapped (13 years and below), wheel chair and non-wheel chair.
In the past, the disabled categories drew between 300 and 400 participants.
Naquiyuddin also received the sponsorship from Tint-Shop managing director S.K. Wong at the same ceremony.
Also present were SHM permanent chairman Tan Sri Chan Choong Tak, SHM secretary Loh Kim Heong and SHM sponsorship and promotions chairman Santha Chitty Bowman.
The three categories for the 21km run are women’s open (19 years and above), men’s senior (19 to below 40 years) and men’s veteran (above 40 years).
The 11km run has six categories – women’s senior (19 to below 35 years), women’s veteran (35 to below 45 years), women’s senior veteran (45 years and above), men’s senior (19 to below 40 years), men’s veteran (40 to below 50 years) and men’s senior veteran (50 years and above).
Secondary school students can participate in the boys’ and girls’ junior categories (13 to below 19 years) covering a distance of 9km.
“We are expecting 9,000 participants to take part this year, a record turnout,” said Naquiyuddin.
Besides injecting a carnival atmosphere for the event held in conjunction with Yang-di Pertuan Besar Negri Sembilan’s 85th birthday on July 19, the family run comprising two adults and two children (below 13 years) is incorporated this season.
The organisers of the run are Antah Group, Majlis Perbandaran Seremban, Seremban Hash House Harriers and Negri Sembilan Amateur Athletic Association.
Other partners include The Star as official media and Suria FM as the official radio station.

MISS Malaysia World 2007 beauties led in the pledge to participate in the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM)'s Relay for Life (RFL) KL 2007.
“We are here to encourage you to come forward and get involved in this wonderful relay. It is the perfect opportunity to share some meaningful moments with people who have suffered from cancer, those who are suffering from it and friends of those who are suffering from cancer,” said winner Deborah Priya Henry.
“We have been getting good response from the public and the corporate sector but we want as many people as possible to turn up. This is our inaugural relay in Kuala Lumpur and so this is our final push for support before the big day,” said honorary adviser of NCSM Datuk Zuraidah Atan.
The RFL is a 16-hour walk or run around the tracks of the MSN Training Stadium in Bukit Jalil from 6pm on Saturday to 10am the next day.
Participants can either walk or run but the aim is to have people on the track throughout the 16 hours. Those who want to rest can set up tents in a camping area that will be provided.
The event will start with a survivor's lap.
“We have around 500 survivors from around Malaysia to start off the walk. Nor Amiza, a cancer patient featured in our television advertisement will lead the walk,” said RFL co-chairman Clare Ratnasingham at a press conference at Nikko Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
The symbolic Luminaria ceremony will start at 8.30pm.
“We will all light up candles with thoughts and memories of people who have died of cancer or are suffering from it.
“This is a networking event for survivors, caregivers and volunteers. It is a form of solidarity in our fight against cancer,” said Zuraidah.
To support the event, Nikko Hotel will be sending teams from various departments to participate.
Henry later joined Dawn Jeremiah (first runner-up), Jacqueline Ong (second runner-up), Mae Lee Myn Wee (third runner-up) and the organisers in a convoy of sponsored Perodua Viva cars to hand out registration forms in the city.
The event is free for cancer survivors and RM10 per person or RM100 for a team of 10 for the public.
Those who are interested but have yet to register can do so on the day of the event.
