Great Progressions, Great Perspective

I purchased Run Strong because I had had sore hips from some sort of strain or imbalance or both, gotten better enough to jog, overdid it, and found myself struggling to walk smoothly, and then did it all over again. I wanted some guide rails to go from walking to running, and Read provided that. I enjoyed his story of how he came to enjoy the practice of running. I found that encouraging!
Read has valuable perspective on the role more traditional strength and conditioning (I was surprised by the non-running conditioning aspect, but I think it's a neat idea, especially to help keep running intensity lower) and rehab-prehab isolation and stability exercises. I love that Read has trained for long-distance running, trained with a focus on getting stronger in the gym, and trained for martial arts, so he has first hand experience with which movements and which frequency and intensity can help an avid runner, and likewise how to supplement a strength athlete or martial artists practice with aerobic conditioning (the latter is covered more on Read's online articles and in his e-book #AgingAthlete). I also appreciate Read's quantified ledger of stress and recovery from training and recovery practices. The book provides clear cut guidance on training; recovery; strength, coordination, and conditioning; and progression and training cycles. Read's personal experiences and research helped me buy into his training perspectives. I highly recommend Run Strong.
