Just this morning I was on a coaching call with a runner who is recovering from a stress fracture.

Almost every runner I talk to can immediately start exercising and start doing stuff to maintain their running fitness if they understand how severe the injury is, and they don't have to just take time off. 

It is heartbreaking to me truthfully when I talk to somebody who has been completely off of their foot and on crutches in a fracture walking boot and worse, not exercising at all for two weeks, four weeks, or six weeks before I ever talk to them. 

Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking about why you should convert your off-season training program to your recovery program when you have a stress fracture.
