Running Well: Run Smarter, Run Faster, Avoid Injury... and Enjoy It More! [Paperback]

'Everybody who owns a pair of running shoes should have a copy of Running Well on their bookshelf. 10 out of 10' --220 Triathlon magazine

'A well-written, beautifully illustrated book that manages to find just the right balance between the science and the spirit of running.' --Malcolm Balk, running coach and author of The Art of Running

Running has never been so popular. More and more people are discovering its health benefits and signing up for clubs or entering events and races. It's fantastic that so many are choosing to get fit on their own two feet, but on average two-thirds of all runners sustain an injury serious enough to stop them in their tracks each year. Far from being an 'occupational hazard', running injuries are usually down to errors in training and technique-and that's good news, because it means that, with a little know-how and the right approach, problems can be avoided. 'Running Well' will tell you everything you need to know to keep you in training all year round so that you sprint-not limp-to the all-important finishing line, be it a 5km fun run or a major city marathon.
