Today I was on a strategy call with an injured, but recovering runner who is trying to figure out how to organize his workouts to get strong quickly, without re-injuring his stress fracture.

He was headed in the right direction, but was making a critical mistake when trying to do more with split workouts. It’s not about splitting workouts. 

It's all about the stressors that are applied to the stress out bone. But this also applies to other overtrain injuries like Achilles tendinitis, perennial, tendinitis, or plantar plate sprains.

If you understand, this basic principle, you will definitely get back to running a whole lot faster!

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, why any runner with any overtraining injury should focus on making sure there are no big stressors on the same structures.
