COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Be a better runner with this book. submitted by tbbrown76 on July 13, 2014, 12:41pm It is decent. Runner's World knows their stuff.

not very thorough submitted by camelsamba on July 14, 2017, 10:15pm I'm not sure this is "the last word in preventing and healing injuries" as claimed in the promo, but it is a useful overview. I read this when I was on the tail end of recovering from IT band syndrome that presented as hip bursitis rather than the more typical knee pain, so I was looking for ongoing strength training. This book included some of the same exercises my physical therapist had given me. On the other hand, the Strengthening chapter (Ch 5) does not do a very thorough job of explaining the importance of strong glutes in avoiding overuse injuries such as ITBS. Also, the injury chapter does not address hip pain *at all* and does not mention it with respect to ITBS. 2.5 stars.
