The half-ass boot routine is no good. Slow improvement with unnecessarily increased risk of atrophy, weakness, stiffness, loss of neuromuscular connections, and destruction of your running form. Your running form, your strength, your flexibility, all protect you from another overtraining injury. 

When you wear a fracture walking boot for a long time inconsistently, or a long time walking on it, you're going to get more of those bad things. 

The other thing that is good, the sort of polar opposite of that, is a half-ass weight routine. 

Whaat is that? And more importantly, why would that be good?

Today on the doc on the Run podcast, we're talking about half boot versus half weight when you're recovering from a running injury.
