Opis

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.
