    No, I mean that healthy runners run faster than injured runners.

    Not if they have insane talent ex: person in my state who got second in the 800 and ran 1:51 was injured for all of winter and had limited training in the spring yet he still ran 1:51 as a junior

    Yea, that's nice. Talent is the first ingredient for greatness. But, if your 1:51 guy is always hurt, he will never be a sub 1:46 guy.

    The original poster should have asked, how much will injuries prevent you from getting faster?

    Well actually i was interested in finding out more on whether the mechanism of running injuries were similar to that of muscle building where it gets stronger after breaking down and giving it a rest .

    guess finding a way to avoid these fascia injuries would be somewhat the holy grail for most runners.

    The holy grail is to run less mileage . Only enough what it takes to compliment your workouts to reach your goal.

    The holy grail is to run MORE mileage. The more you run, the stronger you become. That reduces the chances of injury.
