Don’t ask when can I run after an injury… Ask how I can run

One of the worst questions you can ask any doctor is, "when can I run?" 

 

Believe it or not, I get these questions every single day...from total strangers.

 

They get injured and go to the doctor. The doctor says, "You can't run." Then they will call me and ask, "When can I run?" 

Why am I going to give you the magic answer, if I don't even know you?

There is a better way.

The best questions that you can come up with are the ones that direct your doctor to start thinking about how to help you get back to running a whole lot faster.

If you got a running injury and you're trying to figure out how to run and you go to the doctor, don't ask them when you can run, ask them how you can run. 

That's what we're talking about today on Doc On The Run Podcast.
