RUN SMART, COACH SMARTER

Unlock a Lifetime of Injury-Free Running: An Entertaining Guide to Mastering Form and Coaching Smarter

Tired of running books with endless advice on how much to run but almost nothing on how to run?

Run Smart, Coach Smarter fills that critical gap. Written by Tony Ball—a 29-year retired military pilot and current airline pilot and running coach—this book delivers practical, no-nonsense guidance that actually works. Drawing on decades of experience in a profession rooted in physics and energy management, a math and science education, and years fixing flawed running form (including his own with a reconstructed knee and multiple "you should never run again" diagnoses), Tony reveals exactly how to run properly and why it prevents injury while maximizing efficiency and performance.

This groundbreaking book will help you:

• Master proper form and run injury-free for life.
• Correct common and pervasive form flaws that make you work harder to go slower.

At its core, this book proves one powerful truth: Every runner is a coach. Running and coaching are intertwined. Adopt a coach's detail-oriented mindset, treat your body as your top priority, and coach yourself (and others) to peak performance. With actionable strategies from Run Smart, Coach Smarter, you'll maximize your potential throughout a lifetime of injury-free running.

Your body. Your form. Your results.
