A straightforward, easy-to-follow look at the anatomy, biomechanics, and nutrition of running.

Dr. Cucuzzella aims to improve the fitness and well-being of all, from the uninitiated to beginners to veterans who still have new tricks to learn (Amby Burfoot, Boston Marathon winner, writer at large for Runner's World magazine, and author of The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life).
