Runner's world. Your best stride : how to optimize your natural running form to run easier, farther, and faster-- with fewer injuries

xxiii, 216 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Every runner wants a smooth, light, powerful, and resilient stride. But there isn't one ideal form all runners should try to emulate. Instead, research and experience show that people can run effectively in a wide variety of patterns with some universal elements. Jonathan Beverly details his search for common ground among physical therapists, podiatrists, biomechanics researchers, and coaches, and reveals how individual runners can apply those principles and improve their performance, avoid injury, and enhance their enjoyment on the run. With specific, illustrated exercises that show how to counteract tight muscles from excessive sitting, improve limited arm mobility from hunching over electronic devices, strengthen your feet for better balance, and improve speed by lengthening your stride. An approachable guide to human movement and a practical tool for improved running performance. Jonathan Beverly was the editor-in-chief of Running Times magazine.
