Partial credit vs pass or fail with running injuries
About this episode
Don't ever forget that when you get a running injury, the goal is not to heal the injury. The goal is to get back to running.
If you heal the injury and you get so weak and so stiff, that you wind up getting another overtraining injury, that is a failure.
The thing you have to really think about as you're returning to running isn't just about the possible other injuries you could get but incomplete healing.
The goal is to always strengthen everything as much as possible without obviously causing a real injury to the specific injury that got you in the fracture walking boot, on the crutches or thinking about canceling your race.
Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking about partial credit versus pass or fail with running injuries.
