How a Pain Journal Can Help You Get Back to Running Sooner
Episode description
Pain is a part of running. There is a saying often lauded by athletes and we have all heard, “Pain is just weakness leaving your body.” We affectionately call our training studios “Pain Caves.” We bask in the discomfort of pain, knowing it will make us stronger. In training we embrace pain as an ally.
But when you get an over-training injury, pain when running is no longer your friend. The pain forces you to run slower or run shorter distances. Pain forces you to skip workouts. Pain is wrecking your training schedule. Pain is in the way. Pain is your enemy.
In this episode we’re talking about how a pain journal can help you get back to running sooner.You can keep track of that pain and use it as a tool to recover as fast as possible and get back to running.
