There is no hope on a downward slope. 

I know that sounds really negative and terrible, but it's true.  

A recovering runner recently called for a called me for a second opinion telemedicine visit. Her doctor had told her to wait...to wait to get better. In fact, she waited for 12 weeks and she did exactly what she was told: nothing. She did no exercise for 12 weeks.

If you just think about the last time you were really fit, and if you just stopped exercising completely, right then for three months, how fit would you be at the end of that 12 weeks?

Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking about how there is no hope on a downward slope.
