Running Rewired (2nd Edition)

Become a stronger, faster, and injury-resistant runner with Running Rewired, the updated second edition of the essential running biomechanics book from Jay Dicharry, America’s leading endurance sports physical therapist.

In this science-based running guide, Dicharry translates cutting-edge biomechanics research into 16 practical workouts you can add to any running training plan—with results in as little as 6 weeks. Whether you’re chasing a PR or trying to stay injury-free, this book helps you improve running form, correct muscle imbalances, and build a durable running body from the ground up.

This fully updated second edition also includes new research and a full chapter focused on overuse injury prevention for runners at all levels.
