This was good as a reference but there weren't a lot of surprises here. I'd recommend it as an addition to any runner's library but it's not gonna rock your world.
The opening chapters that explain how nearly all injuries stem from a minor imbalance being aggravated over thousands or millions of footfalls (one expert likens it to lightly scratching your hand with your nail - it doesn't hurt at first but if you keep doing it for minutes it becomes excruciating) and how to choose shoes...more

B+ A great book with a lot of impt information for runners trying to avoid running injuries, prevent them, and deal with injuries.
First running book I've read. Consequently, I learned a lot. I thought it was easy to read and understand and the principals taught were good to know! Not much in there about HOW to run well or even HOW to train, mostly just what NOT to do, thought that was kind of annoying. Overall, glad I read it, but it's not all-encompassing by any means so I plan to read more running books.
Great info for runners out there! Learned a lot!
If you are a novice runner, this is an excellent resource and, perhaps, even required reading. Learn how to get the most out of your running without needlessly breaking yourself or further exacerbating your injuries. She also has some great stretching and strength programs that I'm going to photocopy and keep next to my exercise ball. Anything to fix my stupid hamstring.
Just okay, nothing new. I was hoping to find the key to being a healthy, life-long runner.
Excellent book! It really opened up my eyes to what I've been doing wrong which causes me to get injured in the first place. This book isn't just for injury treatment but it talks heavily on injury prevention or at least serious injuries that can result from ignoring the warning signs. A must read for every runner.
Food for thought and easy to read book.
Not too much new information for me -- I've already read a lot of the info in Runner's World and on forums.
I got this book from the library. It was a good reference book and could be worth checking out again.
Helpful tips!
