You Can Run Pain Free!

The content covered some good topics clearly. If you strip it down to the specific pieces of advice then it makes for a solid reference. I was not a fan of the writing style, however. The storytelling also came across as pretty self centered. I read this on audiobook so this might have been tainted by the authors poor performance. I suspect I would have better things to say if it had had a professional voice actor or even been edited at all.

I'm not qualified make a judgement on whether or not the book offers accurate health advice. As a reader who was looking for practical guidance, I had to read quite far into the book before coming to anything useful. It's easy to be cynical about his motives, when he repeatedly suggests that your physiotherapist use his book to guide your treatment. As a person with very little disposable income, I'm put off by his repeated suggestions that we need to regularly visit a medical professional and a massage therapist. When it comes to practical suggestions, the main points that I recall from the book are:
1) shorter strides, landing on full foot - not the heel
2) good posture, minimize trunk movement
3) work toward lighter shoes
4) good sleep patterns, nutrition
5) fix the causes of pain, don't ignore it
6) rest sometimes, don't run every day
7) cross-train, especially to strengthen the core
