[Comments from the Publisher]

In today's world, where lack of exercise is a concern due to remote work and similar lifestyles, we believe many people enjoy running, which does not require special facilities or equipment.

However, some people injure their joints and other parts of their body due to running improperly or excessively. If you're going to run, it's best to do it in a healthy and safe manner.

We hope this book will be a guide for those who are running, those who are thinking of starting, and those who are just a little interested in making their running experience more enjoyable.

And may it lead you to participate in marathon races beyond!
