See how to improve your running strength, speed, and endurance with Running Anatomy, Second Edition.
This new edition of the best-selling running guide delivers more
exercises, more insight, and more illustrations to show you how to
increase your muscle strength, optimize the efficiency of your running
motion, and minimize your risk of injury.
Running Anatomy
features 48 of the most effective strength exercises for runners, each
with clear step-by-step descriptions and full-color anatomical
illustrations highlighting the muscles in action. Each illustration
helps you better understand how muscles, ligaments, and tendons all work
together as your body moves.
Running Anatomy clearly
links each exercise to running performance. You’ll see how to strengthen
specific muscles and improve gait efficiency for faster times and more
fluid runs. Plus you’ll learn how to eliminate anatomical imbalances
that can lead to the most common injuries that runners face, including
plantar fasciitis, lower-back pain, knee aches and strains, and torn
muscles and tendons.
Feel prepared for any challenge that comes
your way. You’ll find variations to train for every condition and
competition—for various terrains, speeds, elevations, and distances,
from sprint to marathon. You’ll also learn how new gear and
technology-enhanced equipment can maximize your training and
performance.
Whether you’re a fitness runner looking to conquer
hills with more speed and strength or a competitive runner looking for
that extra edge in performance and a finishing kick, Running Anatomy will ensure that you’re ready to achieve your personal best.
