@Greenbank speak to the physio, good ones will give you the exercises you need, I wouldn't have thought anyone would recommend using weights, plyometrics and the use of therabands will fit both holiday plans and give a workout that you're less likely to do any further damage to yourself with!
failing physio advice I would have thought squats, deadlifts, single leg squats and hamstring curls are the way to go (all with swiss ball/theraband/bodyweight)
my ankle is just about healed again, been for three runs, including a 4x400m session yesterday to try to get my legs used to moving at speed.
I've spent a lot of time over the last four weeks swimming, cycling and doing core work so hopefully I haven't lost too much condition in that time.
it is still swelling a little after a hard session, but going down again fairly quickly and apparently this is normal during recovery...
