Episode description

Stress fractures are the most common overtraining injury I treat in runners. 

If you're a runner with a stress fracture, your first question is probably "When can I run?"

Since the answer is always, "When it is healed enough to withstand running..."

Your second question is likely “What can I do to heal a stress fracture as quickly as possible.” 

But if you heal it, get back to running and then get another stress fracture, a recurrent stress fracture, your number one question should be “why”. 

What is the number one question for a runner with a second stress fracture? 

Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
