If I only had 30 days to return to running after injury

Yesterday I was at the Twin Cities Foot and Ankle Conference in St. Paul, Minnesota. The reason I was there is I was invited by the Minnesota Podiatric Medical Association to come and give a one-hour lecture, about "What's New in Sports Medicine."  It may not surprise you that most of what I was talking about was how to help injured runners get back to training, full activity, after overtraining injuries, as quickly as possible. After my talk, another doctor out in the hallway approached me, and she asked an interesting question. What she asked was...  “If you yourself had an overtraining injury, whether it was a stress fracture, a plantar plate sprain, a tear of the plantar fascia, a split in the peroneal tendon, no matter what the injury was, if you yourself were given a deadline of 30 days to healing that thing enough, you could actually run outside without worrying about re-injuring that piece of tissue, what exactly would you do?”    If I had only 30 days to return to full running after an over training injury, what would I do?  Well, that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
