Every May, I take a moment to reflect on the passing of Robin McKenzie, an individual that has had a profound impact on the world as I know it. It is hard to fathom that he left us in 2013; a decade has passed in a heartbeat, it seems. Sadly, I remember the day like it was yesterday. I have a daily reminder that sits at the top of my inbox - an email from 2008 from Robin himself with his personal comments about my book, “RunSmart.” The passage of time always puts life’s moments into greater perspective, and with this in mind, I share my reflections on McKenzie ten years on.
Up to 60% of runners will sustain an injury within any given year. Poor running mechanics, in conjunction with poor, ineffective and outdated training methods, can pose a significant injury risk. "RunSmart" was written to address these issues in the running community.
