Noise From Your Healing Running Injury Is a Good Thing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A runner recovering from an overtraining injury may notice new sensations, tension, discomfort, or other “noise” as activity increases. That can be confusing, especially when the goal is to rebuild strength without overloading tissue that is still weaker than normal. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Segler explains a simple construction-site analogy for understanding some of the sensations that can show up during recovery. Healing tissue requires materials to be carried in and damaged materials
Stress Fracture 5 Weeks Before a Half Marathon: What Should a Runner Do? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What should you do if you are five weeks away from a half marathon and develop a metatarsal stress reaction? In this episode, Dr. Christopher Segler talks with a real runner who is preparing for a half marathon in Argentina after developing a fifth metatarsal stress reaction.

In this episode, we listen in on a real strategy call with a runner who had Achilles tendinosis for years, improved after treatment, returned to running, and then had the pain flare again after hill training. The key lesson is that the next step is not guessing which treatment might work. The next step is figuring out exactly how severe the problem is, what activities trigger it, and what information you nee
Why Your Good Foot Starts Hurting During Stress Fracture Recovery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A runner with a third metatarsal stress fracture was doing everything right. Her injured left foot was getting much better — but then her “good” right foot started aching. That can be frightening. Does it mean you are developing another stress fracture? In this episode, Dr. Christopher Segler explains why the uninjured foot can become overloaded when you are using a fracture walking boot, crutches, or a knee walker, how compensatory stress can trigger metatarsal aching, and why you should not si
