Runner's World Guide to Injury Prevention: How to Identify Problems, Speed Healing, and Run Pain-Free (Runner's World Guides) Review
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.
Runner's World Guide to Injury Prevention: How to Identify Problems, Speed Healing, and Run Pain-Free (Runner's World Guides) Overview
The world of running - and running injury prevention - has evolved greatly in the last decade. New research on injury and recovery suggests that runners can continue to train while injured. And alternative practices such as acupuncture, chiropractic and massage are now virtually mainstream and an essential part of any runner's injury arsenal. Not only is the sport dramatically more popular, but women runners and beginners - who are a large part of the growth - have very different needs in the areas of injury and health which have not been adequately covered in previous books. This comprehensive, new manual is, quite simply, the leader in the field. Essential for any runner, it covers all runners' concerns from the most important stretches - and why you should not stretch an injured muscle - to how to incorporate cross-training to prevent and heal injury, the best strength-training exercises for runners, how to cope with the mental side of injury, the latest thinking on hydration and much, much more.
