I have quite a collection of running books and refer to all of them regularly. They are all good and I decided over time I will do a quick mention of them.
First up is one of my favorites and certainly one of the best books I have.
Fixing Your Feet by John Vonhof
This is a must have for any runner and marathon and ultra runners will find it very useful. It is devided in 5 parts and covers everything there is to cover about your feet and their care.
Part One - Foot Basics
Part Two - Footwear Basics
Part Three - Prevention
Part Four - Treatments
Part Five - Sources and Resources
A brilliant book for any athlete of any sport that abuses the feet.
"One thing is for sure: when one's feet hurt...
it definitely gets one's attention."

Actually that's probably a very valuable resource, especially for the ultra runners!
I'd find this interesting from a natural running perspective.
LOVE anything that has to do with taking care of my feet! Especially in the summer, thanks for this!
You've peaked my curiosity. I'm going to check it out.
Where the heck was that book when I as in foot hell for 2 years?? :)
That sounds like a great purchase. Also, I love Denise Jones nickname! How does one become the Badwater Blister Queen??
I've heard that's a good book. In the last 4 months I get blisters on the left foot of my arch. For a longer run I've started taping it but I don't know what's really causing it.
That's awesome for runners, I'll definitely have to look into it, we must take care of our feet.
I definitely need this book!
