Excellent text with good anatomy pics and explanation of application to runners. Good mix of both the technical side with coaching tips. The exercises are targeted for runners but can be applied to any sport with need for strengthening and increasing basic speed. I would recommend this to anyone coaching your own athletes or starting out in community coaching. Good reference for experienced coaches.

How to exercise to increase running performance and minimize injury
July 31, 2018
This book explores anatomy (and to a lesser degree physiology) as it pertains to running, and shows how one can strengthen anatomy to increase one’s performance as a runner.

I will divide the book up into three parts, though that division is not explicitly made by the authors. The first three chapters discuss running fundamentals. Chapter 1 explores the nature of movement in running. The reader learns about the phases of the running gait and the muscle activation relative to said phases. The second chapter focuses heavily on the anatomy and physiology of the cardio-vascular system and the impact it has on muscle performance. Chapter 3 discusses external factors that can influence running performance such as air temperature, humidity, terrain, and altitude.

The second part of the book consists of the middle five chapters, and gets to the heart of the subject. These chapters investigate the role of musculature in running and show numerous exercises that can be used to strengthen said muscles as well as describing the activation of muscles in those exercises. Starting from the ground up, these chapters proceed as such: feet and ankles, legs, core, shoulders and arms, and chest and back. One might not think that the upper body is critical to running, but the authors demonstrate otherwise.The exercises selected assume the availability of a full range of fitness equipment: machines, free weights, as well as elastic bands and BOSU – though some bodyweight exercises are included.

The third part of the book explores some odds and ends that are crucial, but not covered in earlier chapters. Chapter nine explains how to avoid injuries. Running is an activity that offers plenty of opportunity for repetitive stress injuries because it’s an endurance activity involving iterated actions. Chapter ten explores alternative training programs (e.g. training in the swimming pool or on treadmills), and the pros and cons of such activities. The last chapter is about gear, and – not unexpectedly – much of it is devoted to shoes and questions such as whether one needs orthotics. It should be noted that the authors are firmly in the camp that favor footwear. (There are many advocates of barefoot running in recent years.)

There are many color drawings that show which muscles are activated by movements. The drawings are clear and effective. There is an index of exercises at the end that makes it easy to find various exercises.

I’d recommend this book for runners and trainers who are interested in how muscles can be strengthened and stretched to increase performance and minimize the risk of injury.

Ideal guide to improved performance!
May 27, 2018
new edition of this terrific book describes which muscles are engaged when running and jogging and the exercises runners should do to improve performance. Great anatomical drawings illustrate what’s going on. Also includes info on runner’s aches and pains ranging from the IT band to plantar fasciitis. Great update to an essential book in your running library. Recommended!

Helped to improve performance

in being able to visualize the muscles used to keep in shape while fast walking/running. I have a knee that hurts and this book helped with finding which muscles to develop to support the knees and now the knee does not hurt before, during and after walks/runs.

Another great Human Kinetics book
Reviewed in Canada on September 11, 2019

I have several Human Kinetics books and they’re all great. This book covers a lot of ground for runners. A lot of what’s in the book I already know from weight lifting. But the one thing I was hoping the book would cover which it doesn’t is foot health. The book covers everything up to the ankle. And since many runners may suffer from bunions I would have hoped that it would provide exercises to strengthen the foot and toes.
