Một cuốn sách đơn thuần về hướng dẫn kỹ thuật giãn cơ trong chạy bộ, mà cụ thể là các bài tập khởi động trước chạy, thư giãn sau chạy, và hơn cả là tập bổ trợ hàng ngày. Sách viết rất dễ đọc, dễ thực hành theo, có hình minh họa và toàn bộ đều in màu. Để lại một sao để mình cố gắng thực hành thường xuyên, giảm thiểu chấn thương, nâng cao khả năng chạy. Cảm ơn tác giả vì một quyển sách tuyệt vời

I did not read cover to cover but I find the book very easy to follow and provide just enough coverage to key topics. I am myself injury prone when it comes to running and after going through this book, I can pick up a few good strategies and practical steps I can customise for myself to realise a more fulfilling running life. Look forward to seeing concrete results in the coming months!
