Reviews

[Prashanth Nuggehalli Srinivas · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good book for runners who’re grappling with aches, pains and maladies related to increasing running distances. The first few chapters that explain biomechanics and the anatomy are slightly better than the ones that describe each of the injuries, with notes on symptoms, diagnosis and management.
