The number one question I get on social media from runners, whether it's a direct message or an email, or even a comment on a YouTube video is:

"My doctor said I can't run. Is it okay for me to run my race this weekend?" 

And I'll always scratch my head a little bit and wonder, "Does this person really think it makes sense to ask a complete stranger, who has absolutely no idea about what's going on with them, whether or not it's okay for them to run, particularly when their doctor told them to not run?"

Today on the Doc on the Run Podcast, we're talking about why I don't tell runners whether or not they can run over social media.
