First test run 2 weeks after injury, how long should I run?
About this episode
You have a couple of options when you get injured.
One option is to wait so long that you know for a fact it has to be healed enough that it can withstand the forces of running.
The other option is to move that timeline faster and make things happen a lot quicker. The only way to do that is by testing. One of the things you can test with is a test run.
A runner asked me how long her first test run should be, if she had been two weeks since the injury actually had happened.
Let us say you have been injured and you take a couple of weeks off. How long should your test run be?
Well, that is a great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
