IA we can only go on the advice we receive at the time, most runners aren't experts so have to rely on the so called professional to get us back running.
I want advice not only from an expert but also from someone who knows what it's like to train and race.
Someone who knows the routines and determination that's involved in running.
Getting advice from someone who has just read the books or done the college courses is fine but having an empathy is as important.
