What muscle/tendon is sore?

The area around my ankles and then stretching up just a few inches on the outter sides of my legs are really sore from a trail 1/2 marathon I did on Sunday. I never got sore here before, prob cause this is my first trail race. I'm wondering what the name of the muscle is so I can accurately describe it. Thanks!

    You could be talking about the lateral collateral ligaments or the peroneus muscles.

    well the achilles tendont is on the back of your heel and up your calf. the muscle i think you're reffering to is called the gastrocnemius (inside). the outer muscle starts with an S but i cant remember. sorry, hope i helped
