11:29

It’s super easy for health care providers to tell you to stop running when injured. Thanks to new research by folks like Dr. Rich Willy out of the University of Montana, there is good reason not to stop all together and that is so you do not lose load capacity to tolerate exercise and the strain of running. If you have ever stopped running only to …
