What if you suddenly had twice the time to train? What would you do? Not to be a downer, but you’d probably get injured. Matt Werd, DPM of Florida Foot and Ankle says he has seen more than the usual stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon issues, and the like since the start of the pandemic. “People have been stuck at home, not going to work, so they had an extra hour of two not commuting,” Dr. Werd says.

“Not only people who never exercised, even people who were seasoned, experienced — now they had time to train more, go faster, do new things. They took the opportunity to train harder, do more,” says Werd.
