those training for a one-off charity event, through those who run to
keep fit to experienced club runners who regularly race.

A recent Runner's World magazine survey revealed that over
80 per cent of runners have experienced an injury and that avoiding
injury or recovering from injury is the main worry for nearly every
runner. This will be the first book to specifically address these
concerns. Written by an experienced physiotherapist and recreational
marathon runner, Running Repairs is written in two parts:
covers basic biomechanics so that runners can understand their running
style and identify the specific injuries that are associated with that
style, plus nutritional advice for recovering from injury. The book
will be an essential reference for all runners - allowing them to treat
any injuries immediately and in many cases saving considerable amounts
of money on unnecessary physiotherapy appointments (the author
estimates that about 50% of injuries that runners visit her practice
with could be treated effectively by the patient and that the vast
majority of injuries could be avoided with appropriate exercises being
incorporated as part of training).

marathon runner, Running Repairs is written in two parts:
- Part one - covers a
series of strengthening and flexibility exercises designed to be
incorporated within any running schedule, designed to help prevent
injury in the first place.
- Part two - covers the
most common running injuries and how to manage them. A series of
flowcharts helps the reader to diagnose the most likely cause of any
ache and pain and recommends a plan of action to aid recovery - from
rest and ice to referral to a physiotherapist.
