Why wonky is better than weak in a recovering runner

I was just doing a telemedicine consult with a runner for a second opinion. He has so much pain in his foot he actually can't even walk on the foot, much less run on it.

One of the questions I asked him was whether or not he was doing single leg squats to try to maintain some of the strength in his non-injured foot.

He actually said he wasn't doing any single leg strengthening because he didn't want to get "wonky."

Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking about why wonky is better than weak in a recovering runner.
