Although running is becoming one of the most popular sports, learning to run properly can take time, energy and consistency. You need to do it regularly to become good at it and until you have achieved a certain level of competence, it is unlikely that you will enjoy it very much, or for very long. For many runners physical and mental barriers can stop progress. This book's ultimate aim is to help you enjoy to run - to enjoy the feeling of movement, to overcome inertia, to renew yourself and to boost energy as a result. Master the Art of Running is based on the proven principles of the Alexander Technique that encourage good body use and greater awareness of the way your body functions and moves. The technique teaches you how to release tension from your back and neck and how to run without suffering from injuries. The authors' perspective on the sport takes them into areas rarely touched on in conventional manuals. Instead of placing importance on speed, targets and goals it emphasises the importance of the way you run so you can transform your training and performance.

It's a practical guide to improving form and avoiding injury. The book's value is in the numerous tips: on running form, body awareness and remaining present throughout one's training and running. These are helpfully condensed into bullet points in the final chapter.
I found the presentation quite annoying. There is much repetition, a little too much ironic jokeiness and the assumption that all runners are 'end-gainers.' Each chapter includes a personal running story. These don't add anything to the content, but perhaps will make the book more accessible and friendly for some.
It was worth reading though, for the useful tips and reminders, and the fantastic photos of runners with good form. ( )
