Runner, if you’re nursing an injury right now, read this before you make it worse.
Most runners default to the same three mistakes when something starts hurting:
They stop running completely (hello, deconditioning and a slower comeback).
They eat less because they feel guilty about moving less (wrong move…your tissue needs fuel to actually repair itself).
And they skip strength training because running is “their thing” (meanwhile your hips and glutes are begging for some load).
None of these speed up your healing. All of them slow it down.
Recovery isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing the RIGHT things: managed volume, proper fueling, and strength work that keeps your whole system healthy so you come back stronger than you left.
You don’t need more rest. You need a plan.
