The last word on preventing and treating running injuries-from the magazine known the world over as the most reliable and authoritative source of running know-how

Not only is the sport dramatically more popular, but women runners and beginning runners-who are a large part of the growth-have very different needs in the areas of injury and health that have not been covered adequately in previous books. Research in sports medicine also has advanced.
All this-and much more--is covered in Runner's World Guide to Injury Prevention, making it the best, most authoritative guide in the field.
