I decided recently that I'm going to start training seriously again (mainly on floor, since I'm really not that far from being able to put together an elite level routine). Lately, however, I have been running into problems with sore knees and ankles. It's gotten to the point where I can't tumble two nights in a row, and sometimes I have to take two or three days off after a night of tumbling.
It doesn't seem to be any particular injury, just joint soreness (mainly in the ankles and achilles tendon/calf area).
What is the likely cause of this, and is there anything I can do about it? Is it an issue of insufficient strength/flexibility, or not enough warm-up, or is it just something I'm gonna have to deal with if I'm working high-level skills? Also is this sort of thing likely to get significantly worse if I try to work through it, or should I just ignore it and keep going?
