The Long Distance Runner's Guide to Injury Prevention and Treatment: How to Avoid Common Problems and Deal with Them When They Happen

By Skyhorse Publishing

Over 500,000 Americans compete every year in a long distance running event (marathon length or over). Approximately 70 percent of those runners, or 350,000, will be injured while training within the next three years.

Includes expert medical details and injury-prevention tips from over a dozen influential athletic physicians and trainers.

Many of these contributors have promised to promote the book on their website/blog, including Dan Lieberman, Harvard University Professor of Biological Sciences (http://www.oeb.harvard.edu/faculty/lieberman/lieberman-oeb.html), Irene Davis, Professor and Director, Spaulding National Running Center (http://www.runsnrc.org/RUNSNRC/Director.html), and Michael Fredericson, MD Professor and Medical Expert for Runner’s World.
