Runners' Guide to a Healthy Core: Strengthening the Engine for Running

Achieving personal best performances and staying injury-free requires more than just sturdy legs, as every runner knows. To reach your optimal running potential, you need a strong and healthy core. Having proper core strength not only will give you toned abs and thighs, but it will also ensure that you maintain good form as your fatigue mounts, ultimately decreasing your chances of succumbing to devastating injury.

In The Runner's Guide to a Healthy Core, celebrated orthopedic and champion runner Daniel Frey provides all the essential knowledge needed for achieving ideal core strength. Key pieces of information include a detailed description of how the core functions when we run, illustrations of key core stretches and exercises, a step-by-step guide to correct breathing while running, and home remedies to ensure that soreness doesn't become injury, along with dozens more professionally endorsed tips and tactics.

Complete with dozens of color photographs and charts, The Runner's Guide to a Healthy Core contains all you'll ever need to gain and sustain a powerful and sturdy core strength.
