Pain is the most useful and likely most underutilized tool available to any runner who is tired of waiting for doctors to give them permission to run. 

How you track your pain is important. 

One of the critical components in the running injury secrets framework that I discussed in the first episode of the members only podcast in the Injured Runners Aid Station is about pain caused from damage in the tissue versus pain caused by inflammation around the tissue. 

You cannot run without understanding the difference, at least not safely. 

Is the pain from injury or just inflammation? 

Well, that's what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
