Change your thinking about running.
Is running really harmful to your joints? Do you suffer from common running injuries and wonder why? You can avoid things like:
Shin splints
Joint pain
Muscle strains
Foot pain
And you won't by just changing your shoes, or getting better arch supports or insoles.
The advice doesn't come from just anyone. Dr. Kevin Vandi has written this book based on data he's analyzed from runners he's worked with all over the world. He's a Doctor of Physical Therapy, board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and a leader in integrating advanced biomechanical analysis and feedback into clinical practice. His goal is that you use this system to help you run faster, run longer, and run pain-free at any age.
Running is a skill to be mastered, just like any other skill.
