I just saw a comment on our YouTube videos from a runner named Mary. She viewed the video on permanent calf atrophy, and how that can happen if you spend way too long in a fracture walking boot or a cast.

Mary replied and basically said, "Great. Now you depressed the crap out of me. Thanks. Ugh."

Realizing that you have lost fitness to the point of atrophy can be really upsetting for any runner.

Well, I've got some good news and some bad news for you, and that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On the Run podcast.
