It's very risky. Don't turn something that could heal in a few weeks to something that will take a few months. If you do continue to run, extremely low volumes would be necessary (I'd go as far as to say have no jogging and few strides in the warm-up). You can stay very fit via medball circuits, general strength circuits, pool work, etc. and strength can be improved, along w/ explosive medball work to enhance elastic qualities.
I agree. I have quite a few stress related injuries (especially tibial and metatarsal) in my group due to some unique circumstances of where I work (wearing boots / dress shoes all the time, walking every where, very hard indoor track, etc) and I've found it's much better to heavily modify training (at a short term but minimal cost to overall fitness) than to try and push through (and risk long term damage and cost to fitness).

if i have a athlete who is a fifth year senior and the doctors tell him if he gets a shot that he cant do anymore damage, then why not – its the athlete last year. if the athlete is fr/soph then ill agree be more caution.
