  • Run Healthy book
  • Online continuing education exam
Run Healthy: The Runner's Guide to Injury Prevention and Treatment was written to help you distinguish discomfort from injury in your athletes. It provides the latest science-based and practical guidance for identifying, treating, and minimizing the most common injuries in track, road, and trail running.

Gain a better understanding of how the musculoskeletal system functions and responds to training. Develop a practical and effective training plan to address the regions where injuries most often occur: feet and toes, ankles, knees, hips, and low back. Learn how a combination of targeted strength training, mobility exercises, and running drills can improve running form, economy, and performance.

When injuries inevitably happen, you’ll know how to identify them and help your athletes recover from them. Get targeted recommendations for some of the most common issues runners face, such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, shin splints, hamstring tendinitis and tendinopathy, and IT band syndrome.

Throughout, you’ll hear from 17 runners on how the techniques in this book helped them overcome their injuries and got them quickly and safely back to training and racing. You’ll also find an in-depth discussion of alternative therapies such as acupuncture, cupping, CBD, cryotherapy, and cleanses to help you separate fact from fiction.

After reading the book, certified professionals can take the companion CE exam to earn continuing education credits.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain how to perform and progress rehabilitative measures for common running injuries.
  • Explain how to prevent injury from occurring (or recurring) by incorporating exercises that improve resilience in running.
  • Provide step-by-step instructions on how to perform each of the rehabilitative and preventive exercises.

  • Use the principles of periodization to create a one-year training program that is designed for a particular goal.
  • Incorporate drills for improving running form for the purpose of injury prevention.
