Summary:  "A breakthrough book that redefines running performance and injury prevention. Pliability is the key to running injury free and outperforming the competition. Each year there are 50-60 million people in the US that run regularly, with over 50% of them suffering a running injury. Pliability (the loosening, softening and relaxing of muscles) is in the midst of a major 'movement' in the realm of professional sports, physical therapy and health/fitness to help offset these kinds of injuries. Written by an exercise physiologist and coach at the Boston Running Center, the book outlines what pliability is, why it is important and how to improve one own's pliability safely and effectively specifically for runners. The book addresses issues for all levels of runners from recreational to professional athletes and help increase flexibility and strength." Joseph McConkey, MS, is a running coach and exercise physiologist, specializing in deducing and correcting causative factors to repetitive motion injury.

He has coached at the club, college, and pro levels and have been the director of the Boston Running Center's Gait Analysis Lab for the last 10 years. Joseph's expertise on injury-prevention has him regularly presenting at hospitals, rehab centers, running camps, and club events. Joseph holds the highest accreditation by the USA Track and Field Association and the IAAF (the international governing body of track and field), as well as a Masters in Exercises Science with a focus on Injury Prevention and Sports Performance.
