Enttäuschend
Der “Expert Guide” sollte besser “Beginners Guide” heißen. Viel Blabla und Übungen mit wenig Neuigkeitswert für mich. Amazon Service und Handling der Rücksendung jedoch wie immer Top.

This Physiotherapist says....Easy to read, good Practical advice.
As a physiotherapist with nearly forty years clinical experience, and a runner, I was interested to read this book and even more delighted with what I found. It’s full of serious information, written in an informal and very readable format. The science and backed up knowledge is there with clear diagrams and photos to demonstrate positions and exercises. Yes, you may think you know this stuff but it’s all about HOW you do it. The starting positions. The angles and direction of movement. The instructions. Stabilising. The tips and how NOT to do it. Timings. Repetitions. Progressions. It’s all there. At last a book that doesn’t give you 10 exercises or stretches when 1 or 2 will work for you. That explains what and WHY you should do what you are doing and gets the job done! I’m particularly interested in all forms of physical rehab and tell my patients the same as you....... it’s HOW you perform any exercise that is the key to success.....don’t cheat yourself out of a good result! Thank you Paul, for this book. It’s going to be used at my running club for sure. Madeleine Guderley MCSP

Buy this book if serious about running
Really good exercises and totally recommend. Some page turning required to work out what exercises are for warm up, post exercise or strength as they are all mixed up.

Getting more out of what we put in!
Every runner I know would love to go as fast as they possibly can from the time they put in. If you could gain 30 seconds a mile without having to spend any more time running, any less time with the family or having to buy a pair of Next %s then you’d do it. Paul's guide is essentially about getting more out of what we put in. Avoiding time off through injury, addressing weaknesses in our running style, or better race management are all possible through understanding how and when to stretch. Paul explains it all in the terms of a typical information-hungry but non-technical runner. Loved it.
