May the knowledge in these pages and videos keep you moving ahead with health and enthusiasm for many years to come.

INTRODUCTION
STEP INTO MY OFFICE
Why do you run?

Because it feels good.

Because it lowers your risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer.

Because it relieves stress and eases depression.

Because running builds your fitness for hiking tough trails or playing capture the flag with your kids.

Because as a runner you can eat pie.

Because you love busting all out for a

PR in a 5-K.

Because you love meeting the edge in a marathon, an ultra, or a tri and pushing past it.

Because you love joining the moving party on the road at your hometown 5-miler.

Because it fills you with energy.

Because it makes you happier.

Because it makes you brave.

Because it makes you feel good about yourself.

I hear so many answers to this simple question. And what I hear thats common to all of those answers is that running is important to you, its important to your best life.

I get that, because running is important to my best life too. And it has been for many years. I exercise every day. Why? I have more energy, more focus in everything I do, more motivation. And I love to compete. As a 32-time (and still counting) marathoner and 12-time Ironman triathlete who has saved the date for next years Ironman Lake Placid, I love to push my limits. But the number one reason I run is the pure joy of movement.

But its pure hellphysically and emotionallywhen youre injured and cant run. I get that too. Its the reason I became a sports doc. I know how traumatic it is to be sidelined from the sport you love.

Ive been in love with sports ever since I could play football with my brothers in our backyard. In high school it was baseball and soccer, and then in college just soccer. I was physically active every day, and it made me a better student and a happier human being.

Then during my first year of med school at the University of Missouri, at soccer practice, one move changed everything. Ill never forget that day. The sun was shining, the temperature was perfectcool, but not cold. I was playing striker up front, and as the goalie cleared the ball, I twisted to get it. My knee popped and I went down with excruciating pain. I knew immediately that I had torn my ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), and I was devastated because my sports career, as I knew it then, was over.

Id defined myself as an athlete virtually my entire life. Sure, I was studying to be a doctor, but a huge piece of me had just been taken away. I didnt know how I would wake up the next day and the next and the next and not play sports.

I had surgery and rehabbed my knee, and I worked my way back to sportsto running and triathlons. Along the way I discovered functional strength training, which helped me ease my knee pain. I eventually developed enough strength, after years of doing it, to make me a better athlete than I was before my injury. I took what I learned about strength training and created the IronStrength workout, which I now teach for free to runners and other athletes twice a month to help them get stronger and prevent injury. About 25 people came to my first class. Today I have a listserv with about 6,000 subscribers. In addition to my classes, more than nine million runners around the world have done IronStrength online. It has been tremendously gratifying to see it grow.

I will always remember that loss on the soccer field. And what I can say now is that it was, in a strange way, a gift, and one that keeps on giving. Its what drives me in my medical practice to help my patients. I understand how important movement is to them both physically and emotionally, not just because of that loss on the soccer field but because of what I live todaymovement is important physically and emotionally to me too.

YOUR RUNNER PROFILE

WHAT YOULL LEARN (well some of it, because theres a ton of info in this book)

I just got started and I run about 30 minutes three times a week. I run for my health and to keep my weight in check. At this point, Im testing the waters, so to speak. I dont yet have any long-term plans or goals.
