If you are a serious runner, you are well aware of the aches and
pains associated with the sport. Run Healthy: The Runner’s Guide
to Injury Prevention and Treatment was written to help you
distinguish discomfort from injury. It provides the latest
science-based and practical guidance for identifying, treating, and
minimizing the most common injuries in track, road, and trail
running. Gain a better understanding of how the musculoskeletal
system functions and responds to training. Develop a practical and
effective training plan to address the regions where injuries most
often occur: feet and toes, ankles, knees, hips, and low back.
Learn how a combination of targeted strength training, mobility
exercises, and running drills can improve running form, economy,
and performance. When injuries inevitably happen, you’ll know how
to identify them, treat them, and recover from them. Get targeted
recommendations for some of the most common issues runners face,
such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, shin splints,
hamstring tendinitis and tendinopathy, and IT band syndrome.
Throughout, you’ll hear from 17 runners on how the techniques in
this book helped them overcome their injuries and got them quickly
and safely back to training and racing. You’ll also find an
in-depth discussion of alternative therapies such as acupuncture,
cupping, CBD, cryotherapy, and cleanses to help you separate fact
from fiction and decide for yourself which, if any, of these
therapies to pursue. Injuries can and do happen, but with Run
Healthy you’ll be running strong for many years to come.
