Kettlebell mistake modifications for injured runners
Jan 800:03:26Tap to summarizeKettlebell workouts can be a great way to maintaining strength, even if you have a running injury. If you are a runner who has an overtraining injury like a metatarsal stress fracture or a plantar plate sprain, you are probably doing everything you can to keep the rest of your running body strong, while that one injured part heals. Kettlebell training can help, as long as you don’t let those kettlebell workouts overload that injury to the ball of the foot. You have to pay close attention to form and technique. Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about Kettlebell mistakes and modifications for injured runners.

Which day is best to add workouts for injured runners
Jan 100:03:00Tap to summarizeThis morning I was on a webcam call with a runner who had healed a fracture and started running again. He has been running every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with cross-training in between. Now he is ready to add a fourth running workout to his weekly training schedule. The question is: “What day of the week is best to add an additional run, because I want to make sure I don’t overload the healing tissue and re-injure it.” Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about which weekday is best to add workouts for injured runners.

Does my Achilles tendon need a PRP injection or Stem Cell injection?
Jan 13, 2021Tap to summarizeOne of my best friends has pain and swelling in his Achilles tendon, right in the watershed region that we know develops Achilles tendinosis and can even rupture. He was understandably worried. He asked me, “Does my Achilles tendon need a PRP injection or Stem Cell injection?” I explained to him that he was asking the wrong question. I said, the right question is, “Do I need an injection at all.” Next I gave him access to the Achilles Tendon Course where he could go through the 5 step process I teach in the Achilles Tendon Course for Runners so he could figure out how serious your Achilles tendon really may be. Problem solved…no stem cell injection no PRP injection. No stem cell injection. No fracture walking boot. No cast. No surgery. Today he is running. Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we’re talking about whether or not a PRP injection vs. a stem cell injection would be better in an Achilles tendon injury.
