The ultimate stretching guide, designed to help runners of all abilities run further, avoid injuries and achieve better times.

Stretching is an incredibly important aspect of running and yet it is frequently overlooked or poorly executed. This book details and explains all the stretches that can ease pain, build strength and enhance running performance.

Written by the globally respected physiotherapist, Paul Hobrough, who works with Olympic and World Champion athletes, The Runner’s Expert Guide to Stretching will help runners to understand their bodies, identify weaknesses and develop a natural defence against injury.

With easy-to-understand explanations of anatomy and physiology, and a comprehensive directory of running stretches, runners of any age or ability will find an ideal range of stretches, clearly organised by body part, as well as a detailed strength and conditioning programme.

With more than 2 million of us running at least once a week in the UK alone, this is the go-to guide for every runner.
