If you get an overtraining injury and your doctor tells you to stop running, so you sit still doing nothing, lots of bad things happen.
If you stop running, you will feel terrible physically. Zero exercise makes athletes feel worse.
Additionally, you're probably going to get super grumpy.
Don't be surprised if your spouse, your kids, and your friends start to think you're being a little bit of a jerk. That is because you're in a really terrible mood all the time... because you're not running.
You also start to lose your identity as a fit runner.
We all feel good when we run. We feel good when we accomplish goals. We feel good when we do a long run at a good pace.
But all that gets washed away when you're sitting around recovering from an injury.
Your identity needs to be that of a recovering runner.
That's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
