Question #1 How bad is my injury
Episode description
The number one question I get on social media is can I run with this injury?
So the problem with this is that whenever I get this question, whenever somebody says, "Can I run?" what's really never disclosed to me in that runners question is how bad is it?
The thing that determines whether or not you can run is whether or not you can reduce the stress and strain on that injured piece of tissue enough that you're not going to make it worse by running.
I get this same question for people with Achilles tendonitis, with plantar fasciitis, with metatarsal stress fractures, plantar plate strains, you name it.
The thing everybody wants to know is can I run right now or not.
Today on the Doc on the Run Podcast, we're talking about question number one, how bad is my injury?
