He could still run...

On the Olympics TV thing, some announcer said that a runner got in a motorcycle accident. "He could still run, but his training was in question" the announcer said. What the hell does that mean? What kind of training IS there besides running? The training for track is this "here, go out and run a lot, tomorrow there is some running on the schedule. Maybe on friday we will spice it up and let you run in place for a little bit, but then its back to training you to run around more".
