#210 The Number 1 Mistake runners make in the first week of a running injury

Anytime you make a mistake in training, push a little too hard and get injured, you have pain.  That pain creates an urgent need for answers. Specifically a need to answer three specific questions:  1. What is causing this pain? What is the diagnosis?   2. What is the treatment? What can I have to do to heal it?  3. How fast is it going to get better?    Basically you want to know what happened, and how quickly you can fix it. You want to put a name on the problem, start the correct treatment and have an expectation of how quickly that treatment will give you the result you want.  Above all else, you want to know when you can run.
