There is no accidental healing for running injuries.

You get a running injury because you made a mistake in over-training. You tripped over something. You did just a little too much in your workout. Something went wrong. It was an accident.  But healing does not happen by accident. Healing a running injury has to be intentional, just like your training. Think about what you do in training. You have a very, very specific plan to make sure you stay on track, but it is not by accident.  And it's the same way with the healing process after you have an over-training injury. Don't forget, when you get an over-training injury, all it really is is an exaggerated form of the same tissue damage that you get in normal training when you're running. So, you can use that same sort of active plan being very intentional about when you're going to heal, and how quickly. All of that must be deliberate, but you can't have mistakes in healing the same way you can't have mistakes in your workouts Today on the Doc on the Run podcast, we're talking about how healing a running injury does not happen by accident.
