If you’re a runner dealing with a stress fracture, you’ve probably been told to “just stop running” and come back in six to eight weeks. But that advice completely ignores the way runners think. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Segler is going to walk you through the crucial questions every runner with a stress fracture should be asking—but that most doctors never do. We’re talking about what might actually be slowing your healing down, what you could be doing right now to maintain your running fitness, and what objective metrics you should be tracking so you know exactly when it’s safe to do more. Because if you want to heal fast and get back to running, you need better questions—and better answers.
