Ready to Run
Dr. Kelly Starrett, a coach and physiotherapist, is the author of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling book Becoming a Supple Leopard, which has changed the way coaches, athletes, and everyday people think about movement, mechanics, and the realization of human and athletic potential.
T.J. Murphy has established himself as one of the endurance world's most prolific writers over the course of a 20-year career. He has been the editor-in-chief of Triathlete and Inside Triathlon magazines, as well as the editorial director of Competitor.
Dr. Kelly Starrett, author of the best-selling Becoming a Supple Leopard: The Ultimate Guide to Resolving Pain, Preventing Injury, and Optimizing Athletic Performance, has tailored his revolutionary movement and mobility philosophy to the injury-prone world of running. Despite the growing minimalist shoe industry's promises and a flood of new ideas on how to transform running technique, more than three out of every four runners suffer at least one injury each year. Although we are "born to run," modern life has trashed and undercut dedicated runners who want to transform their running. The harsh effects of too much sitting and too much time spent wearing the wrong shoes have tethered us to lower back pain, chronic knee injuries, and crippling foot pain. Ready to Run will teach you the 12 principles that will prepare your body for a lifetime of high-performance running. You'll not only be ready to run in a minimalist shoe, but you'll be ready to run in general. You will discover:
- The 12 performance standards you must constantly strive for and improve.
- How to unlock your full running potential and find a fountain of youth for lifelong running
