Comp�titeur et entra�neur: � partir de l'�ge de 45 ans, les temps de course de Keith se sont am�lior�s de fa�on spectaculaire, ce qui lui a permis d'�tablir de nombreux records d'�tat, nationaux et mondiaux par cat�gorie d'�ge. Les records qu'il a �tablis dans la cat�gorie des 55 � 64 ans sont plus rapides que ceux qu'il avait lui-m�me �tablis dans celle des 45 � 54 ans ! Au jour d'aujourd'hui, il a battu et d�tient toujours 38 records d'�tat par cat�gorie d'�ge, 15 records australiens par cat�gorie d'�ge et cinq records du monde pour les 55 � 64 ans: 1500m (4:12.35), 1 mile (4:35.04), 3000m (8:56.80), 5000m (15:29.7) et 10000m (31:51.86). Les le�ons de Keith sur les changements de technique sont associ�es aux programmes de renforcement et de r��ducation de Heidi et forment le coeur de ce livre. Keith propose �galement un chapitre destin� aux entra�neurs qui souhaiteraient introduire un changement de technique chez leurs coureurs. Comp�titrice et podologue: Heidi a �t� coureuse toute sa vie et est devenue podologue afin de soigner les blessures dues � la course. Elle a obtenu son dipl�me en 1996 et dirige actuellement sa propre clinique � Bondi, Feet On The Move. Les semelles orthop�diques n'ayant pas r�pondu � ses attentes, Heidi d�cida de concevoir un programme de renforcement des pieds comme alternative. Cette m�thode s'est av�r�e tr�s efficace pour traiter les coureurs, mais aussi les non-coureurs et les enfants. Heidi allie son programme de renforcement aux le�ons de changement de technique de Keith pour former le noyau de ce livre. Heidi propose �galement un chapitre qui d�crit comment mettre en oeuvre son programme, destin� aux podologues et autres professionnels de la sant� qui traitent les coureurs.

"ENGLISH EDITION REVIEWS Great for any age, thoroughly recommend whether new to running or injured like me! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2019 Not only is the advice in the book evidence-based, it's tried and tested and clearly brings about results if runners Keith (running coach) and Heidi (podiatrist) are anything to go by. No fads or a flash in the pan kooky ideas, it's full of real life experience and sensible drills and exercises. As well as being easy to follow with videos and excellent illustrations there is a fabulous attached private Facebook group where Heidi and Keith patiently spend much of their own time advising and feeding back on individual's form and progress. Why do they do it?! It seems to be just because they can and just love to help us runners, whatever stage we're at, from whatever part of the world. Thank you Keith and Heidi for your kind, modest, knowledgeable and helpful advice. I'm pretty overwhelmed tbh! The best practical guide to developing optimal running form Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 July 2019 As an athletics coach, this is my ""go to"" book for helping people improve their running form. There are 100's of books on the topic but this one nails it ... with a truly practical approach to getting better. The explanations, the advice, the drills, the video demonstrations blend perfectly to help you get there. BTW - It's not just for older people, it's for anyone who wants to improve their running form! Essential read for runners Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2018 This is an essential read for anyone wishing to improve their running style or recover from running injuries. Keith and Heidi passionately believe that barefoot (or zero drop shoes) are key to good injury free running style. I started Heidi's foot exercises and noticed a difference within days. My feet and legs were less tired than normal after a full day sightseeing. I will be continuing the exercises and will start to look at Keith's drills to improve my running style. The best money you will spend! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 June 2019 So clear, so practical and so honest! And alongside the videos that the book allows you to access, it is like having the authors as your personal trainers. Game-changer Reviewed in Australia on 24 June 2019 Stumbled upon this by accident, has been eye opening and a massive game changer for me. I run mainly for health and not competitively, so being able to do it in a way that my body appreciates it is really important for me. Fixed all my mistakes bit by bit and got me past longstanding plantar fasciitis as well as achilles tendinopathy. Not ""designed for old people"", but instead methods and advice so well thought through that it builds results in the here and now, as well as setting the foundation to healthily continue until a very advanced age if desired. Highly recommended for casuals and racers alike!"
