RunSmartUp 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 Poor running mechanics, in conjunction with poor, ineffective and outdated training methods, can pose a significant injury risk. The book "RunSmart: A Comprehensive Approach To Injury-Free Running" was initially released on May 1, 2008 to address these issues in the running community. It provides an innovative approach to the problems of the running athlete of all skill and performance levels.

Paperback, special edition hardcover, and ebook versions are available directly from the publisher or on iTunes. Reviews can be found here.
