Summary

The handbook that every runner will want to have on their shelf。 Run Well answers the common health questions that every runner asks。 Packed with practical, realistic and sound advice on topics from head to toe, for anyone who runs。



Running-related health questions crop up all the time, often at inconvenient moments。 It can be hard to access the advice you need because health care professionals are often unavailable at short notice and without an interest in running, may not have the expertise to give adequate answers。 Information from the internet is often dubious, anecdotal, and not evidence-based。 Dr。 Juliet McGrattan has been answering health questions from runners since 2012 and has worked as a family doctor and a health journalist。 A keen runner herself, this experience and passion combines to create a helpful, accessible handbook for runner regardless of gender, fitness level, or training program。

I pre-ordered Run Well as soon as I could and was so excited when it finally arrived! I already own Juliet's excellent first book (Sorted) and knew I enjoyed her writing style; I have also just started training for my first marathon and need all the help and advice I can get! Run Well does not disappoint。 To start with, I love the cover design (I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I can't help it!)。 The layout is clear, and I really like the Q&A format, which makes it accessible w I pre-ordered Run Well as soon as I could and was so excited when it finally arrived!

Run Well does not disappoint。 To start with, I love the cover design (I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I can't help it!)。 The layout is clear, and I really like the Q&A format, which makes it accessible whether you want to read the book from cover to cover or just dip in as and when。 It is divided up into sections relating to each body system e。g。 the cardiovascular system, and the head。 In addition to answering relevant running related questions, Juliet also draws on her considerable experience as a GP and uses the opportunity to impart preventative and public health information e。g。 how to do pelvic floor exercises, and, for men, how to check your testicles。 The book is peppered with "top tips", medical facts and comments from "real-life runners"。 Juliet has managed to pack in so much valuable information, without it being overwhelming, and she is not afraid to tackle subjects often deemed taboo e。g。 from running during your period or after miscarriage, to burping and farting, and the runner's trots。 I am a fellow GP and have already learnt so much, which will help not only me but also my patients who also enjoy pounding the streets and trails。 I can see Run Well being my health bible as I embark on my marathon journey over the next few months, and have already bought a couple of copies as gifts for friends。I can thoroughly recommend it。 Well done on another brilliant book, Juliet, and thank you! 。。。more
