      Science Of Strength

      Dec 16, 2019

      I have lost count of the times I have heard a runner say that they don’t do strength training. When asked why, I almost always get the response: “I don’t need it.” I then ask “How many times have you been injured?” or “Don’t you wish you were faster?

      Medical Disclaimer

      The information in this book is meant to supplement, not replace, proper training. A sport involving speed, equipment, balance and environmental factors, and running, will involve some inherent risk. The authors and publisher advise readers to take full responsibility for their safety and know their limits. Before practicing the skills described in this book, be sure that your equipment is well maintained, and do not take risks beyond your level of experience, aptitude, training, and comfort level.

      Why I Wrote This Book

      I wrote this book for anyone with a burning desire to start running. The compilation of 26 reasons why beginning runners fail will hopefully steer you clear of common avoidable running mistakes. If I can help at least one person avert injury and pursue a hobby of running, then all the time put into this book will be worthwhile.

      I designed this book for anyone with a desire to take up running to get in shape, to race competitively, or just to change up their exercise routine. This book is not intended to be a guide for experienced runners. However, there might very well be something that the experienced runner might learn from it.

      I do hope this book keeps you running safe and injury free for years to come. The best of luck to you on your running path to success.

      Injuries & Medical Conditions

      If you have sports related injuries, I highly suggest that you talk to a medical professional to determine if you are fit enough to run. Not seeking medical advice could further exacerbate an existing injury. I am not a legal or medical professional, nor am I offering any type of legal or medical advice. One last time, if you’re injured or have medical conditions that may prevent you from taking on a rigorous running training program, please seek the opinion of a licensed physician before participating in any physical training.

      Assumptions

      Before you dive into this book, I’m assuming the following:

      You are new to running.

      You want tips to help you jump start your running career safely.

      You plan on sticking with running for the long term.
