Running from Injury: Why runners get injured and how to stop it

Peter Francis saw his teenage years transformed by a miracle drug called running. His
elation was
soon followed by despair, in the form of 12-years of repetitive injuries. Spurred on by
personal
injustice, Peter pursued 3-science degrees, multiple coaching and consultancy roles before
making a
breakthrough in the form of what had seemed like an unlikely comeback. In 2016 aged 29-
years, for
the first time in his life, he ran for almost 3-years uninterrupted. This period coincided with
running
multiple personal bests (33:46 10-km; 78:00 half marathon). In this book, he uses a
combination of
his own story and his learnings spanning some 18-years of trial and error to provide a holistic
explanation for why runners get injured and how best to avoid it. His personal story is as
captivating
as the information it imparts. Whether you are a disgruntled beginner or an Olympic hopeful,
you
cannot help but become more consistent having read this book
