What: Running has many benefits to a women's health, but the forces that produce the health benefits reverberate up through the foot, knee, hip and back. Research shows that about 50% of recreational runners aren't able to run sometime during a one year period because of an overuse injury. You need to know how to protect yourself while still getting the maximum benefit from running.

Dr. Murray Maitland is a professor in the Division of Physical Therapy at the University of Washington. More important, he has over 20 years of personal experience with running and running injuries. He will be speaking about weak links in the anatomical chain and recommending some common and some unique ways to prevent overuse injuries.

Yoga for runner's class will immediately follow Murray's talk.
