Tell about your history with running. How long have you been running? And what kinds of events do you prefer to run?

Tell us about how your stress fractures started…How much were your training when you first started to notice the pain that signaled a problem?

When you first started having stress fracture symptoms, what do you remember, what did it feel like…when the discomfort really first began?

Did you know for sure it was a stress fracture? Did you think you had 2 or just 1?

When you think back about your training leading up to the 2 stress fractures, if you could go back in time, do you think there’s any one thing you could have changed in your training routine that might have prevented it from developing into such a serious problem?

One big secret we really did not discuss during the interview was the questions I asked Alexandre to help him decide how bad the stress fracture were, which are the same questions we also used to decide when to start running, and add speed/mileage to his runs. Most runners who call me miss this part.
