Become a stronger, faster, and injury-resistant runner with Running Rewired, the updated second edition of the essential running biomechanics book from Jay Dicharry, America’s leading endurance sports physical therapist.

In this science-based running guide, Dicharry translates cutting-edge biomechanics research into 16 practical workouts you can add to any running training plan—with results in as little as 6 weeks. Whether you’re chasing a PR or trying to stay injury-free, this book helps you improve running form, correct muscle imbalances, and build a durable running body from the ground up. Your running form is shaped by your body’s strengths—and its limits. Running Rewired will teach you how to reprogram inefficient movement patterns, restore mobility, and develop the core skills needed for faster, safer running. This fully updated second edition also includes new research and a full chapter focused on overuse injury prevention for runners at all levels.

Inside Running Rewired, you’ll find 11 self-assessments for joint mobility, posture, rotation, and alignment; 80 corrective exercises to fix restrictions, improve control, and build power; 16 rewire workouts to upgrade your training for 5K, marathon, or ultramarathon running; new science-backed strategies to strengthen bones, tendons, and muscles for running demands; tailored advice for beginner runners, masters athletes, and even elite runners.
