The Running Revolution: How to Run Faster, Farther, and Injury-Free--for Life
About this product
From a two-time Olympic coach and creator of the Pose Method who has trained the running elite and the US Army, an essential guide for all runners seeking to go faster and farther without injury
Christopher McDougall’s Born to Run —and the wildly popular natural running trend it sparked—changed the way we think about running, but it has also prompted many questions: Have we been running the wrong way? And, have we been running in the wrong kind of shoe? What is the safest type of foot strike? How many types are there? And what is a foot strike anyway? No existing guide has clearly addressed these concerns—until now. The Running Revolutio n provides both beginning and experienced runners with everything they need to know in order to safely and efficiently transition to and master a safer and more biomechanically efficient way of running that is guaranteed to improve performance and minimize wear and tear on the body.
More than a one-size-fits-all guide, The Running Revolutio n provides readers with clear instructions, complete with helpful illustrations, that they can easily integrate into their unique running histories in order to run safely, intelligently, and efficiently for many years to come. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this book is instructive, practical, and easy to understand, with many readers praising its running-technique guidance and injury-reduction focus. Goodreads readers describe it as a methodology-focused book that explains a specific approach to running rather than a general training guide. Google Play reviews are mixed but lean positive, with one reader calling the content helpful for overcoming injuries while another criticized it as self-aggrandizing and pseudo-scientific. A running blog review described it as informative and educational, especially for strength, form, and flexibility. An audiobook review also praised it for helping the reader learn to run in ways that reduce injuries.
