It is not normal to run with aches, pains, and injuries, and you don't have to. Over 50 percent of distance runners are injured in any given one-year period, and 25 percent of runners are injured at any given moment. Those statistic are unacceptable. There is a way to avoid the cycle of run, pain, rest, and repeat.
For years, runners have been running through pain, getting injured, applying short-term solutions, and being told to stop running. With all of the technological advances in shoes, orthotics, and recovery tools, you'd think that injury rates for runners would be on the down turn. Unfortunately, we are no better than we were in the 1980's. Modern treatments for runners are not working, and Dr. Matthew Silver knows your pain. In Built to Run Dr. Matt shares his revolutionary approach to treating distance runners and teaches you the secrets of pain-free running.
