Stress fractures are the most common overtraining injury I treat in runners.
If you're a runner with a stress fracture, your first question is probably "When can I run?"
Since the answer is always, "When it is healed enough to withstand running..."
Your second question is likely “What can I do to heal a stress fracture as quickly as possible.”
But if you heal it, get back to running and then get another stress fracture, a recurrent stress fracture, your number one question should be “why”.
What is the number one question for a runner with a second stress fracture?
