All day long I talk to injured runners and help them figure out what they could be doing differently to get back to running as quickly as possible.

I have realized is that the majority of injured runners are choosing, or have been told by a doctor, to follow one of four different running injury recovery strategies.

Some are more effective than others. Let’s talk about these:
1. Ignore the injury.
2. Stop hurting the injury.
3. Protect the injury.
4. Strengthen everything.

Which strategy did your doctor recommend to you?

Which strategy are you using to recover from your overtraining injury right now?
