A very good investment.
Body weight squats solve everything indeed, all of the world’s problems from hunger to poverty to war and climate change, if only we could collectively get the global body politique to ensure that every man, woman, and child performed one hundred body weight squats a day.
Squat and save a child today.

Holy Carp!
I bought this book based on this mention... and on some specific issues that I know result from compensating for injuries... It sounded like it might be a good read. Wow. It's like this guy is in my brain (and joints). I'm not looking for a quick fix, and this book seems like just what I'm looking for.
Much appreciated for the heads up.

This is one of the best books I've read for runners. I would suggest it to anyone, especially anyone that is struggling.
-It's an easy read, he get technical but it's not so deep that your eyes glaze over.
-It has real practical workouts.
-The workouts do not require a gym load of equipment.
The workouts do not require a huge time commitment.
-Everything is written with the focus on RUNNING. So often the lifting routines you get on line are geared towards people where the lifting is the main point. They are wanting big muscles, or tying to lift a lot of weight, or they are wanting to lose weight. This is written knowing that the lifting is to support becoming a better RUNNER-not getting beach muscles, etc..
Great stuff. Single leg exercises are more running specific than double leg exercises, plus the smaller stabilizer muscles are recruited into action, just as they are while running, but at a slower (safer) speed.
air squats are awesome for a million reasons
does it cost anything?
do you need special equipment?
do you need a special venue?
do you need a lot of space?
you can do them in a damn closet
do enough of them and you can absolutely smoke yourself....in a good way
While extremely strong trainees can do variations of one-legged, bodyweight-only squats. most of the time this isn't necessary; most trainees can do a set of bodyweight-only squats to failure within 2 minutes by adjusting the range of motion (to make the leverage more disadvantageous) and the speed of movement. Drew Baye's PROJECT: KRATOS provides a step-by-step quite on how to do this to find your sweet-spot. If you want to try making bodyweight squats more difficult, try using the bottom of the movement, from ass touching (but not resting on) calves, all the way up to top of quads slightly above parallel, and perform reps at a 10 seconds up, 10 seconds down pace, with a 4 second pause at both top and bottom.

Is there much different stuff in it tha Anatomy For Runners?
No. You should be running more miles in the time you're squatting
If you read almost any article talking about strength for reducing running injuries, they'll advocate some type of squat. Air squats or jump squats or squats with weights. I figure it doesn't really matter what type of squat you do.
I believe the knees are the biggest beneficiary of squats.
200 is a lot and kind of time consuming. I personally do 3 x 6 squats with weights 2 or 3 times per week. I have had knee problems in past and have had none since I started with the squats.
I also do some other things for injury prevention:
1.) Calf extensions to increase calf strength and protect my achilles
2.) Leg lifts to avoid IT band injuries
3.) Single leg deadlifts for hips
4.) Pushups for core strength, as I had some groin pain during long runs postpartum
The whole thing takes maybe 15 minutes. So less than an hour per week. I am over 40, running 50 mpw, and no injuries. I'll take it.

+1 You get better at running by running, not by needlessly tiring yourself out and wasting time with random leg exercises. Upper body exercises I see the case for if you really don't like the "twig" look lol. But running itself will get you as strong as you need to be for running imo.

Lol how old are you 17? Once you get older you can’t just endlessly run without injury and you need strength training to keep healthy. Plus this thread is not about performance, Regardless Enjoy your painless running days while you still have them.
Plus one on the need for individual workouts. Try kettlebell walking lunges like they often do in CrossFit or even a farmers carry regimen can really help the knees over time.

Late 20s (running ~15 years). I get injured as much as anyone else, no more or less I don't think. The risk is obviously always gonna be there when you push the envelope in your training. I realize the thread is about injury prevention--I meant running itself is all the strength work you need to get your body strong enough to handle running. If you have some studies or something showing that extra strength training prevents injury though, please go ahead and post it. Seriously, I am happy to learn something. My feeling is that in like malmo and HRE's glory days, most people just ran, and somehow their legs didn't fall off, so that's what I go with because I like to keep my training as simple as possible.
Get Strong.

I don´t think 10 minutes of extra running every week will do much difference.
