"Great for any age, thoroughly recommend whether new to running or injured like me! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2019 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase 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 Verified Purchase 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 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase 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 Verified Purchase 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 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase 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!"

Author Information

Keith is a competitor and coach: From the age of 45 Keith's running times improved dramatically, culminating in a host of State, National and World age-group records. The records that he set in the 55-age-group were faster than the records he set in the 45-age-group! At the time of writing, he has broken, and still holds, 38 age-group State Records, 15 Australian age-group records and five 55-age-group World Records: 1500m (4:12.35), 1 mile (4:35.04), 3000m (8:56.80), 5000m (15:29.7) and 10000m (31:51.86). Keith is the oldest person ever to break 32 minutes for 10 kilometres. Keith conducts private coaching session and coaches Cross-country and track running at a Sydney school. His technique-change lessons combine with Heidi's Strengthening and Rehabilitation programs to form the core of this book. Keith also provides a chapter for coaches who want to introduce technique change for their runners. Heidi is a long-time competitor and a podiatrist Heidi has been a life-long runner and became a podiatrist to fix running injuries. She graduated in 1996 and she runs her own clinic at Bondi, called Feet On The Move. After orthotics failed to meet her expectations, Heidi devised a foot-strengthening program as an alternative. This has proven to be very successful in treating runners, non-runners and children. Heidi combines her strengthening program with Keith's technique-change lessons to form the core of this book. Heidi also provides a chapter for podiatrists and other medical professionals treating runners, which describes how to implement her program. Freelance illustrator based in Bristol, UK.
