Customer Reviews

Coming from an injured runner, this book is a MUST to prevent injuries

I am newer to the sport of running and have taken it by storm! In fact, so much so, that I was overtraining and found myself with a stress fracture. While being "laid up" I decided to read up on injuries that occur while running and how to prevent them in the future. Man, I wish I had read this book months ago. I am sure I would have prevented this stress fracture had I read the book. It's a great overview of various injuries that can occur, but more so it is a practical guide on how to train so that you never experience an injury.

Great Product and fast shipping

Got this bec my friend recommended it. He is also a log distance runner and he used this book. I am excited to see what it can do for me. Shipping and price was very reasonable.
