Running Rewired, by Jay Dicharry

Jay Dicharry’s book explains how to reinvent your running for better stability, speed and strength. 

Alan and Liz take you through it in detail covering each of the books 3 parts:

1. The rationale; what is going on with the runner’s body.

2. How to drive your run in a customised fashion with targeted precision and performance exercises.

3. How to rewire your running brain with workouts to reinforce the new behaviours.

Training harder might just be reinforcing poor running patterns. Stop forcing “plan B”, and switch to your “plan A”. Jay uses a step by step approach to tells us how to do this, and why it is important. 

There are clear explanations of what is going on inside your mind and body, demystifying some of the more common scientific jargon we hear around running.

Discover how to find out what YOUR body needs to do to be a better runner, and then convince your brain to send it a revised set of instructions! Sounds magical? Well it’s going to take some work.

Jay shows us each drill and exercise in sumptuous illustrated form, before assembling them into a menu of routines. Each person can then select routines from the menu based on needs, skill level, and where they are in their training plan. 

Liz offers her advanced experience with the programs in the book, and Alan contributes his beginner experience trying to get his glutes to show up for a run! 

As usual the team give the book a thorough and enthusiastic examination. Is it the book for you? You will certainly know by the end.
