2 ways runners can tell an injury is improving

How do you know your injury is improving? How do you know that you got the green light to start running? How do you know it is healed? 

Well, when I talk to runners, most of them say something like: 

"Well, my x-ray shows this. Does that mean that I can run?" 

"My blood test showed that, does that mean I can run?" 

"My doctor said this, but I heard that on some other podcast, so does that mean I can run?"

There is lots of confusion around how you can tell when you are getting better as you start regaining running fitness after an injury starts to heal. Timing is the crucial piece of information if you really want to run.

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about two ways an injured runner can tell the injury is actually improving.
