Running Rewired: Reinvent Your Run for Stability, Strength, and Speed
In Running Rewired , America’s leading endurance sports physical therapist and coach shares a program for runners to become stronger, faster, and more durable. Jay Dicharry distills cutting-edge biomechanical research into 15 workouts any runner can slot into their training program to begin seeing real results in about 6 weeks. For better or worse, your body drives your running form. Running Rewired will show you how to shed old injuries, mobility problems, weaknesses and imbalances and rewire your body-brain movement patterns. You’ll rebuild your movement and transform your running within one season. Through his work with athletes at REP Lab and top university sports performance clinics, Dicharry has found that strength training alone is inadequate for runners. To develop the four essential movement skills required for faster, safer running, runners must practice better movement as they build strength. In Running Rewired , you’ll use • 11 self-tests for joint mobility, posture stability, rotation, and alignment • 83 exercises to fix blocks, move with precision, build strength, and improve power • 15 rewire workouts to amplify any training plan from 5K to ultramarathon Dicharry’s Running Rewired combines the best of real-world coaching and a physical therapy approach to strength and mobility for better running. You’ll find your personal best running form and become a faster, more durable runner.

If you want to be a better runner, this is the best thing you can do. A report from someone who has done it...
Jay Dicharry is a an expert physiologist, biomechanist, and running coach, and his book delivers an awesomely effective program to make you a better, stronger, faster, and healthier runner. All you have to do is the work, with attention to detail, and listening to your body.
RR starts with practical movement principles, and provides self evaluations to help you identify your movement patterns and limitations, and how your body is built to move best. The bulk of the book is a large and varied set of drills and exercises to coach, build, and strengthen optimal movement patterns. You can't miss with this program. It builds precise movement and strength in so many ways that translate directly to running.
My experience may be instructive. I did this program intensely in the winter of 2018-19, and greatly improved my running form, strength, and speed. By spring, I felt like a new runner, almost like superman. However, that winter was unusually long, snowy, and icy here in the Midwest and my time running, walking, and on my feet had lagged substantially, so my actual running had somewhat de-trained. But because of RR, I was running with such strength--meaning increased force--that I sprained my relatively de-conditioned foot. I was out of balance. So I put RR aside and ended up having a pretty good running year in 2019 after my foot healed and, within the limitations of the year, a strong 2020.
In late 2020, 1.5 years after putting RR down, I picked it back up and quickly determined that what Jay had coached had become fully burned in and natural--I am rewired. Even so, as soon as I resumed the precision movement exercises, I could immediately feel a fresh, strong, positive impact on my running and form. So far, I have barely touched the performance strength part of the program. I am going to take it very slowly, carefully, and in sync with running and walking. I know that part of the program is powerful, and builds a great deal of dynamic running strength--what Jay calls "a bigger spring"--but as my experience shows, it should be handled with care and done gradually.
I am in my upper 50s and doing the best running of my life. I ran my first real race since the pandemic started this morning, and handily beat my prior times. The RR program is my most powerful tool as a runner for countering the inevitabilities of aging.
My advice if you want to be a better runner: do this program. It is the best thing you can do. But take it slowly, over several months, especially if it significantly adjusts your running form. The rewiring is worth it, but takes several months to fully accomplish, and rebuilding is necessary along with rewiring to meet its demands. Don't be in a hurry like I was.

Makes sense intellectually. Proof will be if the exercises actually help me run pain-free and faster.
June 30, 2022
The author, I think, completely ignored the cardinal rule of all writing: consider your audience. This book has the tone of the worst perpetrators of pop-sci (the author even mentions Malcolm Gladwell, a master of finding spurious correlations that violate peoples' intuition) combined with a ton of complexity an expert who only occasionally leaves his or her hermetically sealed academic office could come up with.
Most of us who aren't running the Barkley marathons got into it largely because it's simple and fun. You don't need a lot of equipment or training to run, it's intrinsically very natural. The author certainly intended to write this book for that audience (he even explicitly mentions that a lot of running studies tend to either study sedentary male college students or elite athletes, leaving everyone else unstudied), but the prescription doesn't match the disease. The author provides dozens upon dozens of exercises to help correct running form, often requiring a gym membership or some equipment. I'd posit that most of us average joe runners got into it because we hated the Americana fitness class mentality of giving things your all and suffering for the sake of health. The author is probably too busy with elite athletes to figure out what the pareto principle-esq 80% for 20% of the effort looks like for mobility work.
The reality is, there's a huge industry of excess around fitness and "grit," particularly in the United States, a country with of the most unhealthy populations on the planet. Dicharry is in good company here with his complex (and terse, so so terse--it's very difficult to perform any movement by reading text and interpreting poor pictures) instructions for movement restoration--an analogue here is certainly Kelly Starrett, famous in the crossfit world, whose prescribed stretches have a prerequisite of pain (couch stretch, ouch!) and misery.
Repeating more tersely: none of these exercises are fun, and therefore very few folks who read this text will keep with it once their initial motivation fades.
All good habits should be pleasant, short, and easy to start. Any author writing for a general population should be considering what the minimal set of work actually looks like to keep people consistent, not exhaustive. I'd guess that the golden goose for this particular book is the concept of pushing, not pulling when you're running, a movement you can learn for yourself by running up a hill and experimenting a little.
I think a lot of books in this genre are poor replications of Thomas Hanna's excellent "Somatics" book. Hanna defines the term "sensory motor amnesia," a loss of the brain's capacity to sense and control certain parts of the body, a concept that Dicharry aludes to in various models, but to a less impactful extent. Somatics defines a series of exercises designed to help you restore your connection with your body--so many of us in the west have lost a proper connection with our bodies. This book does have significantly better pictures than Somatics though.
Overall, this book could've been an article with a minimal set of the most impactful exercises (most books these days). My smell test for books of this nature: are they filled with little personal stories in each chapter? If so, they're probably an article or listicle masquerading as a book.

Requires a ton of equipment and access to a gym. In general I found the delivery to be very unclear and disjointed. It reads like a college textbook that assumes way too much basic knowledge. The first few sections are a tsunami of mobility exercises presented one after another. There is no overarching plan or progression that tie all these sections together. As far as I can tell -the idea is that you work through these "blocks" in your body before you get to Chapter 10, which is the main program of rewiring. This is another tsunami of exercises you're expected to fit alongside your regular training. I believe this book will redline and overload the brains of most readers. Way too much, way too fast.
January 19, 2019
I liked all of the technical aspects of the book, but as I am a beginner runner, I don’t feel like I would realistically complete all the exercises. I loved the emphasis on mobility, and the rationale made a lot of sense to me. I hope to go watch a video or two on YouTube by the author for clarity.

We learn how to type, shoot basketballs, ski, etc, but not the basic building block of so many sports: how to run. The simple drills in this book took me from running like a cyclist (pulling the ground under me and overloading my calves) to pushing using my glutes. I’m now a more powerful AND efficient runner. And my calves don’t hurt after long runs the way they used to!
Beyond that, the strength training and precision workouts in this book are great for avoiding injury and running faster than ever. What else can a runner ask for?!

Principles well explained, let down by bulky training program
The author does a great job explaining what it takes to improve ones running form. He even gives the readers some self-assessments to determine which measures are useful for them. According to the description, there are 11, but I counted only 8 or something like that, so he obviously had a more generous understanding of what counts as a self-assessment.
The main problem though is the actual program: It is extremely complicated. There are lots of exercises, (30-40 if I had to guess, did not count them), which is anything but simple. And a good training program should be simple. Additionally, a lot of the exercises require gym equipment, so they aren't just complicated, they are also hard to fit into training. I suspect that the training program is so complicated because the book would have been rather short otherwise, which would have disappointed readers. If you are not interested in the concrete training program, this book is probably not for you because the training program is about 1/2 of the book (I wasn't exaggerating when I said it was complicated).

I have been running from quite some time now and I feel I have organically improved my running style. As there is an improved level of stamina with very less or no injury.
I resonate with Jay Dicharry's idea that for efficient running, one must adopt right techniques. And all the drills and exercises given in the later part of the book is super-efficient. I haven’t really inculcated them yet but I’m sure I will add a few in my work-out and strength training regime.
Overall, the book’s emphasis is to build strong foundation of movement patterns that can be then applied to running-specific movements aiming towards becoming an endurance athlete. Since I am a work in progress athlete, I’m gonna come back again and read the book for further reference. If you want to get into running or are already into it, Running Rewired is a good book to delve into.

This is a much better book than Anatomy for Runners, as it actually gives some workouts. I did one workout a week for about 6 months and noticed no change to my running. I'm not a fan of this shotgun approach, and Dicharry suggests you actually do two per week. Who has time for that? Maybe this is good for runners who don't do anything but run, but I find yoga to be a better use of my time. The main thing I found useful was the lacrosse ball forefoot stretch and the posture fixed, which aren't even among the workouts. The lacrosse ball has helped me get my big toe on the ground and improve my varus knee, and the posture stretches have opened up my thoracic spine, which a lot of people could use help with. There are many paths to better body knowledge, but I'd leave this to the PT's and pro runners.
January 20, 2021
Usual format of trying to sell you on the idea at the start. Then explaining different exercises and what they are targetting. Also some "tests" to find whether you're subconsciously doing something wrong. Finally from chapter 10 on he puts it together into workouts you can plan in in your week. Some of them (especially those focused on power) do seem to require some equipment (bar for lifting, medicine ball, kettle bell), but I think you can get some decent work in without it or by improvising some weight here and there. Might update when/if I get around to doing the workouts myself.
December 27, 2018
Mind blown! The basic physics of running are helpfully explained as Dicharry then goes on with how to improve your stride, efficiency, and much more! Can’t wait to implement some of these exercises and drills, watch my posture, and build my strength and spring. Easy to read, short, and has very practical tips, diy tests, and explanations.
August 25, 2023
I can't tell if everything shown in this book works, but the topics presented, the way it is written and lots of exercise images make it a good running-related book. I already incorporated some of the exercises into my daily routine and can tell that I see some progress ;)
January 2, 2021
I initially checked it out from the library and read it. There's so much I'm this book to help me understand and improve running. I'm buying a copy today!
May 12, 2023
Another of my go to reads when I'm running poorly due to injury!

very helpful book for structuring and implementing strength training specific to runners

some helpful stuff for the run coaching side of my life

If you’re a runner and have struggled with injury, you need to read this book. My hip tendonitis is gone, and I’m optimistic that I’ll be able to run a half marathon this time without getting derailed by injury. I realized my form was pretty awful: I was over striding, letting my hips drop, and not using my glutes enough. It not only gives you comprehensive strengthening and stability exercises specific for running, but also tests to figure out what kind of skeletal or muscular imbalances might be affecting your form and leading to injury—and how to fix those imbalances.
January 6, 2021
Very informative. If you're looking for a book to set you up on your running adventure, this is the one. Explains the biomechanics and the physics of running, suggesting drills and sessions which can be part of any training program
February 12, 2018
Jay Dicharry is a smart dude. Thankfully, he doesn't suffer from the inability to talk to the layman (which can beset some smart people).
This book is basically three things:
1) a little physics -- why do things work they way they do? and why can it get messed up?
2) a little diagnosis -- do self-assessment of various common points where runners have mobility issues
3) prescription -- a workout program designed to promote mobility and strength for optimal physics.
Lots of graphics, pictures of all of the exercises, and a mostly clear style. A few typos, and a little bit of confusion for me if you find yourself needing to tackle some items in #2 about when to proceed to step 3 ... but overall, really enjoyed, and looking forward to putting my new knowledge into practice!

I found this book extremely helpful. The text is clear, the reason behind the tests and exercises is explained, and, at the end, the authors suggests how to combine these exercise routines with your current running program. It clearly states how often, on what days (in relation to the days you run), and in what period of your program (in relation to your peak race) you should do each routine.
Some of the test as well as some of the exercises suggested aren't immediately clear, but you can find videos on YouTube showing the proper form. A lot of equipment is required, but the authors suggests alternatives in case you don't have access to such pieces of equipment. Overall, Running Rewired teaches you how to pinpoint imbalances you may have and how to correct them, besides offering precision, strength, and power exercise programs to help you become a more efficient runner.

Lots of helpful direction but the author discusses some major problems up front and I wish he would have organized the recommended workouts with the solution, not say- we’ll get to that later which means that when I use this book for my specific problem I have to create a road map for myself after I first read everything and then skim to note the locations of everything I need. So, what I’m saying is that maybe this was organized for the author’s ease in writing but not the end user.
That said... the author tackles some serious problems that plague runners and does it admirably, providing exercises and photos for reference.
I want to rate it a 3 because of the way it’s organized but in the end will deal with this shortcoming (imho) and hopefully get some relief.

This is by FAR the best running book ever! I read Jay's previous book and it was more technical, this is reader friendly and permeated for me. I've changed my running with his recommendations and explanations and I'm running with no injuries and more efficiently. I love running even more now!!
I recommend this book to my friends and runners who I coach. After working on my form, last summer, and building in strength workouts I'm still doing his recommended precision and strength workouts and drills. Believe in Jay and his method!

Great evolution of his earlier book "Anatomy for Runners". Actually, it seems to be this should have been called the second edition of that book, but whatever. Whereas "Anatomy for Runners" was very heavy on technical terminology, this book is written in a little more structured way and has much better practical guidance. He describes each aspect of his methodology through and gives example exercises to correct or strengthen various things, but then, at the end, there's a summary workout plan.

This book is in line with the Triathlete’s Training Bible by Joe Friel. Gives more practical exercises to incorporate into fitness and weightlifting routine.

Very clear program and he explained the science behind his reasoning really well. Now I just have to do it haha.

Solid book.
First third goes over some of the basics of biomechanics in a detailed but practical way.
Second third goes over some tests, exercises, stretches, and drills to assess and correct poor mobility and increase stability and range of motion.
Final third gives actual plans to follow for various purposes ranging from strengthening to maintenance to reinforce the good movement mechanics presented in the second third.
I already know a good amount about the principles detailed in the book due to powerlifting, but I still learned a lot and was actually able to address some deficiencies in my movement that I was able to feel immediately. Less than a week after doing some of the moves learned in this book and my stride already feels sooo much better.
I highly recommend this book. Those with less knowledge of the concepts discussed in this book will likely benefit a lot, whereas those with a bit more familiarity should still find the read worthwhile.

Every runner should read this. It's like having a high-quality personal Physical Therapist for under $20. Although it is running focused, non-runners could also benefit from it.
Running Rewired features useful diagnostic tests for discovering underlying mobility and overuse issues, and offers accompanying recommendations and exercises to fix those issues.
Personally, it helped me fix plantar fasciitis, IT band, and shin split issues. This book demonstrated how these issues actually originated from inhibited hip and foot mobility issues (neither of which I had been aware of as a root cause).
Even if you don't have any issues currently, this book is useful for offering proactive PT exercises to prevent future injuries. I wish I had this book when I ran track in college.

After reading a few motivational books about running (Born to Run, Eat and Run) and after spending much of the summer reading and even writing a blog article about this, I decided to go a bit more theoretical so that I can make sure I run properly before my muscle memory solidifies with something wrong. This is how I discovered this book and it delivered on the promise.
I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to run without injury. It contains a lot of information about running properly and tons of exercises to actually achieve that.
What I took from the book was a determination to start following at least the first eight workouts. I am not sure when exactly I will be able to fit them in, but I will find s way.

I am grateful of reading this book. I ran 210 miles in my first year of running and injured myself out of excitement lol, which is the reason why I bought this book. Followed Nike 5K training multiple times (which I still love it), however it has no weight training program and I didn't know I need to train muscle for running lol.
Now at the end of my second year of running, ran much fewer millage, but with this book, I can feel what is hip-driven running posture and my injury does not feel that sore anymore.
Coming the third year, I am excited to continue practice his Precision + Prehab + Performance workout with running program
Thank you Jay to help newbie runner to run more years without injury.
