How 2 Days in a Fracture Walking Boot can Help you Decide If You Can Run a 100 Mile Race

That may seem like a silly thing like you think if you’re wearing a fracture walking boot, there’s no way you're going to run a hundred miles. But there is a patient I just had a consultation with yesterday on the phone and we were talking about this because she's actually signed up for a one hundred miles trail race, she wants to do this ultramarathon and she's having a problem. The task is to figure out really is it safe for her to do this run which is a hundred miles basically a month away or not. So we have a long talk about this and it was really interesting because she's very smart. She's had a couple of injuries over the years. She totally understands running. She’s a multiple sort of level endurance athlete. She has had a number different races, she has done lots a races and all kinds of races, strictly running, triathlon, all kinds of events and so she knows a lot about the process. In this lesson we’re talking about how a couple of days in a fracture walking boot can actually help you decide whether or not you might be able to run a hundred miles.
