DR. SHEEHAN ON RUNNING. by George Sheehan, M.D.
Running as understood and practiced by a heart specialist who began running at 45. Prior to become running, he was concerned with disease; after he was interested in health. Said another way, he notes, the medical world may be more concerned with repairing than preventing, and he finds running can be a preventative form of health. Still, he notes what to do about running injuries that do occur but that some can have their origin in the foot, and that simple foot pads can reduce or solve issues. He notes that not all persons will become runners in the pure sense but some may run as part of other sports. He teaches by way of sharing his experiences through philosophical musings. Drawings, 204 pages.
