Succint, Complete June 18, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
An easy read, short, and has all the information runner's will need about running injuries and preventions. I found information about pretty much everything I went through when I started running recently [ Knee pains, shin splints, arch pains, .....].
Written in a user friendly format, it has all the background information you'll need about injuries. You can skim these over if you're not interested, and go right down to the prevention/excercise section.
 The Runners' Repair Manual March 24, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a useful for book for anyone who runs. One of the authors is a podiatrist who treats runners and he is fairly pro-active with regard to self-help. I found it extremely helpful in treating a recent bout of plantar fasciitis. It might be helpful to update this book and see if there is any recent developments in sports medicine with regard to these injuries.
If you love running, this book will help you keep running without injuries forever July 12, 2006

This more like a user's manual. A truly useful reference to everything related to being healthy before, during and after your running session. You will even find tips on how to choose the right shoes for you. Learn how to diagnose any discomfort before it becomes a potential injury.
Clear, practical concise, written in a very readable way, you will like this book as much as you like running.
Runners' Repairs February 22, 2006

All those little things that are happening either to myself, or to my cross country runners now have some good solid information on treatment and remediation. It is a great help to pinpoint problems for self treatment first rather than see a physician for nagging injuries that will respond to self treatment. It is an easy read but full of information. For example, the neoprene wrap on shoes for runners that have chronic problems with sprained ankles appears to be a clever solution. Good resource, down to earth, practical!
Timeless Advice That Everyone Can Use December 3, 2005
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
A classic. Much better than any gimmicky "Idiots Guide", this Author provides sound advice along with stretching excercises and other tips that will never go out of style. I wish I had this book BEFORE I started running. Since it was published 25 years ago, it could use a couple of MINOR revisions. This would make a great gift for a new runner.
