Running Well: Run Smarter, Run Faster, Avoid Injury and More by Sam Murphy

Running Well is designed to appeal to both men and women; the content is accessible but based on the latest scientific evidence. It shows runners how to minimise the risks of injury and other problems (such as cramp, blisters and dehydration) by showing the difference between training and straining, avoiding overtraining, varying speed and distance, keeping the running muscles strong and supple and honing technique. A substantial and unique section deals in detail with specific injuries, outlining symptoms and causes, who is particularly vulnerable and what to do (in terms of both self-help and seeking professional advice).
Sam Murphy has 17 years of experience as a runner and has raced distances from 3000m to 100 miles. Her previous books for Kyle Cathie include Run for Life (100,000 copies sold in the UK) and The Real Woman's Personal Trainer. Sarah Connors is a chartered physiotherapist with a special interest in running. She has worked with British athletes, including the Olympic team, since 1993, and is also a competitive runner.
