Healthy Running Step by Step will help runners of all ages and
abilities understand why running injuries occur, how to prevent
them, and how to speed up recovery. Injuries plague the majority of
runners, wrecking training plans and cutting running careers short
by decades, but they are not inevitable. Authors Robert Forster,
P.T., and Roy M. Wallack explain that nearly all running injuries
can be rehabilitated quicker and even avoided altogether with the
right training, strengthening, stretching, running form, and diet
strategy. Drawing from Forster's three decades of training and
treating Olympic athletes and more than 10,000 runners at his
award-winning Santa Monica, California, physical therapy and
high-performance centers, this book emphasizes that better
performance is inextricably bound to injury reduction and that a
comprehensive, science-based training plan with built-in
anti-injury "insurance" must include these crucial elements:
Periodization training Proper technique and footwear Nutrition
Posture and flexibility Strength training This book also includes
detailed, step-by-step rehabilitation matrixes for the five most
common running injuries: IT band syndrome, Achilles tendonitis,
shin splints, plantar fasciitis, and hamstring injuries. Using
these unique matrixes as your guide, you'll recover from injuries
more quickly and understand what you need to do to prevent their
reoccurrence. Healthy Running Step by Step is a must-have guide if
you've ever been injured, are recovering from an injury, want to
prevent injuries, or run injury-free for decades to come.
