First step sit still and wait
from Doc On The Run Podcast · host Dr. Christopher Segler
Yesterday I called a recovering runner, just to check in and see how he was doing, because he had done the Fast Track Challenge 2 months ago. He's doing great. He has recovered and gotten past his injury. He said he learned a lot in the Challenge and has applied it to his training. He's on track for running ultra-marathons this year. He has a coach. Training is in full swing with no limitation from the injury and got him into the Fast Track challenge. Something he said on that call actually kind of shocked me. I asked him, “Is there anything that you wish you could have done differently if you went back?” He answered, “Yeah, I would have called you sooner for a consultation.” If you ever run into injury many times, your first step is to sit still and wait. Sometimes that's a problem and that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
