I recently got a call from someone who had a son who was in cross country and he's been having some trouble. He's had several weeks of not running, and she wanted to get some advice on what to do.

I got an interesting response via email, where she wanted to know what free advice I had for her son.

First of all, I don't give advice when I don't know what the problem is. I didn't really know the story with her son.

We didn't do a consultation, and no physician is going to give you advice if they don't actually know what your circumstances are.

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about the best free advice for injured runners.
