Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter.

All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Bitter, and today I have a topic-based episode for you.

It's actually more of an update slash topic episode. So

earlier this year, I actually suffered a sacral stress fracture. And I wanted to do an episode

that highlights just what that actually is, why I think it may be an underdiagnosed injury

for runners and how someone could possibly fracture

their sacral and potentially walk away eventually not recognizing that that had happened,

as well as just look at just the different kind of processes I took to navigate that because

it may be helpful for someone who's dealing with injury in general or a bone injury because there is

differences when dealing with bone injuries versus soft tissue injuries. And I wanted to highlight that

as well as just some other basic things about it and the process I took because there are a variety

of different reasons that you can get an injury like this. And for me,

personally, I've had very few bone issues in my life. In fact, only two, but they both were

sacral a la stress fractures on the right side. So for me, this particular journey was a little

bit unique in the sense that I wanted to really make sure I identified

every possible scenario or look into every possible scenario between nutrition, between

training methodology, between everything mechanically speaking with my form and stuff like that,

to really try to unearth exactly what

caused it to happen. And I feel like I've likely arrived at my personal solution. And I do talk a

little bit about that in this particular episode. So that's the topic based for this one.

A couple of things just with some other episodes, too.
