It is recommended to immobilize at first although depends on the grade of the ankle sprain.If the ankle sprain does not resolve on its own, I would recommend seeing a specialist
If you are comfortable, and you have given yourself some time to heal, then yes. If it is painful, you should see a physician and have it evaluated prior to heavy exercise
I recommend you be evaluated by a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) before resuming your running
