#1013 Worst thing about walk run routine after running injury

Understanding how and why those unique stresses happen may help you make better decisions about your first few runs after you feel your stress fracture or plantar plate sprain has healed enough to resume running.

#1010 Half boot versus half weight when recovering from running injury

The half-ass boot routine is no good. Slow improvement with unnecessarily increased risk of atrophy, weakness, stiffness, loss of neuromuscular connections, and destruction of your running form. Your running form, your strength, your flexibility, all protect you from another overtraining injury.

Today on the doc on the Run podcast, we’re talking about half boot versus half weight when you’re recovering from a running injury.
