I think when a doctor tells a runner to quit running it doesn’t make any more sense than telling an accountant to quit working with numbers. Running is what we do. And running should be the goal. You have to work with a doctor who will help you get back to running. And no matter where you are, you should be able to find a doctor who will help you heal AND get back to running.
I talk to runners all over the world. Of course most of them are injured runners. The main reason injured runners call me when they want to get answers to all of their questions is they are frustrated by doctors who tell them to quit running.
In this podcast we’re talking about the five main reasons doctors tell you to stop running.
