I was just on a call with an injured runner who is about to go out for a test run. 

She is very excited because she is going to get either a yes or a no on deciding if the tissue in her foot that is been healing is strong enough to withstand a little bit of running at a medium pace for a short distance. 

This is an important test because if it hurts, obviously no running, right? You got to wait some more. But because you want to get a yes, you want to make sure that your chances of getting the yes are as high as possible. 

The way that you do that is you protect the foot as much as possible. So, the shoes you should use for your test run really do matter a lot. 

If you are going to go out and try a test run after you have been injured, what kind of shoes should you wear? Cushioning shoes or stability shoes? 

Well, that is a great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
