If you're injured, you really need to have a goal.

If you were to call me for a private consultation or a house call, I would not accept "I want to get over my foot pain" as a goal.

But interestingly, when injured runners call me, that's often what they say. 

Think about this. When you sign up for a race, it's really easy to get motivated. It's easy to decide on your training plan and just get to work.

But when you are injured, you think the process has to stop.

Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking about why injured runners need a goal race.
