Your goal tells me how chronic your running injury

The most important first step with any athlete who signs up for a webcam second opinion or series of coach coaching calls is to ask, “What is your goal?”    I was lecturing at a medical conference in Wisconsin where I was doing a whole morning session on running injury talks and diagnosis of subtle fracture patterns in athletes.  What I told those doctors is they have to ask the athlete, “What is your goal?”  Without understanding your timeline based on your running goal, you cannot make a useful recommendation on treatment on any running injury. Sitting in that conference room I realized...    Your goal that you have right now could tell me how chronic your running injury really is.  Don't believe me? Well, that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
