is an experienced fitness
author and editor. A former journalist on
Runner’s World, the UK’s best-selling

building general fitness, on losing unwanted
weight, and on obtaining the best equipment to
match your individual physical profile. Just as

injuries as you train, and how to cope with
injuries if they occur.
