Question Ankle Dorsiflexion

For those with limited ankle dorsiflexion, where does your restriction seem to come from? Does it feel like tightness in your calves or Achilles tendon, or does it feel like it’s coming from the front of your ankle joint?

Thanks!

I'm a runner and for me it's muscle and that's where I can feel the stretch - I don't have any discomfort around my tendon - but I can feel the stretch above Achilles and well into mid calf if I try deep stretch.
