Finding one that works with athletes is so important, because they will try to work with you and not just tell you to stop running. My sports medicine doctor works with Olympic athletes, so he gets it. And because he gets it, I know if he tells me not to run that means I really shouldn't run.

If there are things you can do like yoga, some light weights, maintaining your diet etc. I know there are days where I just physically can't get on the treadmill and I have a hard time thinking of other things to do to stay healthy.
