Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not a Book for Running Injuries
This book does not discuss hamstring or quadricep injuries. These two muscle groups are by the far two of the most important for runners. Because of this I do not recommend this book!
Rating:  - The BEST Running-Injury book I've found.
I've went through about 4 books looking for help with my own running injuries, and this one was BY FAR the best. More information, catagorized wonderfully, and very easy to comprehend and apply to yourself. Even though this book has more info in it than injury-related, at least half of the book is based on injury, and I can't recommend THIS section of the book highly enough. A real winner.
Rating: - Wish I had this when I started
This is an excellent reference.
The chapter on preventing injuries is alone worth the price of the book. The authors clearly explain muscle imbalance and its possible effects on runners. There's even a self-test for muscle imbalance and techniques for establishing proper balance.
Many ex-runners probably would have kept it up, if they had read this book. It helps you diagnose and manage injuries yourself and point you to a doctor when you really need one.
