Depends how severe: How long ago did you sprain it? Is it still swollen or bruised? Do you limp when you walk? If you are having any continued pain or swelling, it is not a good idea to stress it by running, kicking, etc. You could tear the tendon further and cause bigger problems. If it was a very minor sprain and you have no bruising or swelling or limping, you might try to gently run on it.
