6 months ago I had a jones fracture and a sprained ankle. Now when ever I play sports that required running a half hour til an hour my whole ankle stiffens up and get a pain in my ankle that goes away the next day until the next time I run or something.

ankle pain
by: Bart - SII

The pain you are getting is likely from a decreased efficency of the ankle muscles to stabilize your ankle. This is very common after a sprain, especially if you didn't do a lot of ankle rehab after your injury.

After an injury the communication between the muscles and the joints (proprioception)is compromised. Without rehab to improve this communication, you end up with inefficient muscle activity - this can lead to fatigue and irritation after prolonged activities, or even to re-injury.

Check out Ankle Sprain Solutions for a comprehensive rehab program that will improve your proprioception, strength, and endurance.
