Book excerpt: THE SADDEST THING for a runner to hear is a health practitioner saying, "You have an injury. You have to stop running." Although running is a non-aggressive sport, it has a surprisingly high rate of injury, as high as 79%. And the risk is most serious for newcomers, people who have recently discovered running and are excited about the benefits. The fact is, if you are a runner, the way things are today, you will probably be injured. This book can change that. Dr. Steve Smith is a chiropractor with 33 years of experience focusing on runners. A lifetime runner and the co-founder of the Pasadena Pacers, he offers common-sense advice as well as easy-to-do stretches and exercises that will prepare your body to run better, stronger and with less chance of injury.

Book excerpt: Running has become more and more popular in recent years, with thousands of people entering marathons, buying new running shoes with the latest technology, and going for a daily jog, whether on the track or on a treadmill. Unfortunately, with running comes injuries, as a result of wrong information and improper training. Author Jay Dicharry was tired of getting the same treatments from doctors that didn’t heal his joint and muscle pain from running, so he decided to combine different fields of clinical care, biomechanical analysis, and coaching to help you avoid common injuries and become the best runner you can be. Along with clear and thorough explanations of how running influences the body, and how the body influences your running, this book answers many of the common questions that athletes have: Do runners need to stretch? What is the best way to run? What causes injuries? Which shoes are best for running? Is running barefoot beneficial? The mobility and stability tests will assess your form, and the corrective exercises, along with step-by-step photos, will improve your core and overall performance, so that you can train and run with confidence, knowing how to avoid injuries!

Presented in an easy to follow format and with dozens of handy sidebars, the practical information in this book will help keep runners on healthy, pain-free, and enjoying their running experience like never before.
