This book has solved my problems with shin splints and running injuries. I just recently completed a half marathon for the first time. I attribute my injuries to standing up too tall and not leaning forward with my ankles which is the premise of this book's pose method. While it sounds simplistic and common sense for some, I can guarantee that it is not the case for others. I am in the Army and have always struggled for the last 6 years with running. After countless bouts with shin splints, plantar faschitis, IT band pain, and other problems I decided that I wanted to try something new. After reading through the book and meticulously watching youtube videos created by Dr. Romanov, it finally clicked for me what I was doing wrong. From the very first time I tried the pose method I could notice a significant increase in speed and less impact in my shins. It all boils down to the center of gravity when you land. Retraining your brain is challenging because you will want to extend your stride to run faster, but this book teaches you to lean forward at your ankles to allow gravity to propel you forward rather than using your muscle strength. When you understand what this book teaches it will feel like an epiphany, so I cannot recommend it enough!

Solid book that should be required reading for anyone thinking about running for fitness, fun or competition. This book skips the hype, skips the fads and sticks to the basics. If you are looking for a flashy book with all the latest "cool" factor, and quick answers you will be disappointed. But if you want to learn the basics of how to run correctly, this is your book.

I would highly recommend this book to the new runner, and I would highly recommend this book to the seasoned runner who is frustrated by injury or whose running has plateaued (me).

And while I said the book is nothing "flashy", the opening paragraph alone may be worth the price of admission. "Running is flying."

As a physical therapist, I love this book for my patients. It helps runners understand why bad form can be so detrimental to progress and inhibit the goals of helping someone to run faster, run longer or run without pain. I love the section on how to do video analysis on yourself! Excellent read that is easy to comprehend. As a side - the videos on YouTube are the perfect adjunct to the book. Highly highly recommend this book.
