As an English Podiatrist, I found this book refreshing and fascinating and it makes a wonderful 'companion' to browse through between patients - particularly the case studies! It also makes good reading for my sports patients, while they're attending my clinic. Many of my obsessive runners, however, will not like the comments on realistic running schedules!
One of my patients, a personal trainer and marathon runner, was so impressed with this book that he has requested me to obtain a copy of it for him, which I do with pleasure.

This book is clearly written. It covers a lot of ground, no pun intended. I am very glad I ordered it and glad I read it as the price, when compared to even one visit to a health practicioner, is very reasonable. On top of that, these guys know runners and you can't say that about most health care providers. Buy it.

I finished this book, cover to cover, on first opening it. Its full ofinformed opinion, real life scenarios, and honest to goodness trainingadvice. Ellis and Henderson (et al.) have produced a comprehensive, andvery easy to read, guide to injury, and more importantly, injuryavoidance. Its a must read for any running enthusiast. The medical andmechanical implications of training are very well presented. I can'trecommend this book highly enough.
