Running is a cherished sport in America, yet more than half of those who identify as runners experience injuries annually. These injuries often result from overtraining, incorrect form, poor nutrition, and unsuitable footwear, causing many runners to reluctantly trade this dynamic sport for a less demanding pastime. However, Hiroaki Tanaka’s groundbreaking book “Slow Jogging” introduces an efficient, healthier, and pain-free approach to running, applicable to all ages and lifestyles, for the very first time in the United States.
Tanaka’s easy running method, colloquially known as “slow jogging,” offers an injury-free approach to running that not only aids in calorie burn and weight loss but can also help reverse the effects of Type-2 diabetes. Through intuitive steps and vibrant charts, “Slow Jogging” guides runners towards an injury-free and enjoyable activity by:
– Upholding a relaxed, “niko niko” pace, a Japanese term indicating a comfortable and enjoyable pace
– Focusing on mid-foot landing, rather than on the heel
– Opting for shoes with thin, flexible soles and no oversized heels
– Aiming for a rhythm of 180 steps per minute
– Endeavoring to incorporate activity into daily life
Accessible to runners across all fitness levels and age groups, “Slow Jogging” is poised to inspire and transform the running habits of countless Americans, redefining the way avid runners approach their practice.
