Running Injury-Free
more info...

Do you run more than 15 miles a week?
Are you working on increasing your mileage or speed?
Are you ignoring minor twinges and strains so you can keep training?
If so, you are a serious runner. Problem is, sooner or later, you’re bound to get injured, unless you follow Dr. Joe Ellis’s advice in Running Injury-Free.

Dr Ellis has developed a unique self-test that reveals which runners get hurt—and why. Rate yourself on arch height, flexibility, the time of day you run, body fat percentage and more. Armed with this information, you can predict your tendency to develop injuries.

This test is a useful tool to help you be on the lookout for warning signs for maladies that can slow down or even stop your running.

If you are already suffering from a running injury, Dr. Ellis clearly lays out prevention and treatment options. You’ll find out how to select the right shoe for your foot type, products that work and those that don’t, and a seven-step plan for running without getting hurt.

If you are plagued with Plantar Fascitis, Runner’s Knee, Sciatica, Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome or other more serious injuries, Dr. Ellis gives sound advice on how to work with your doctor to help alleviate these problems. Case studies of runners of varying abilities show both the right and wrong ways of treating injuries.
