This morning I was on a consultation call with a runner at 4:30 a.m. and he's been suffering from a plantar plate injury.  But he's been doing pretty well. He actually just finished his first run!

Now, what I asked him about was his plan for his next run. What he said, made me uneasy. 

It seemed risky, and I started kind of squirming as he was describing his plan to me. It wasn't really a bad plan. It wasn't really a crazy plan. But based on all the experience I have working with injured runners, I knew it was riskier than it needed to be. 

And this is why I decided to record this episode. Because it happens to almost every injured runner!  So don't let it happen to you!

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast we’re talking about why runners get re-injured one to two months into healing.
