Very proud to announce my new book with the amazing team at VeloPress: Running Rewired: Reinvent Your Run for Stability, Strength, and Speed.
What’s is it? This book is the answer. One of the biggest questions I get is “what do I do to stay healthy?” and the second most common question is “what kind of cross training will help me run better?” – and the answer for these is actually the same: Learn how to move better.
The imbalances and performance blocks runners endure over many years of training shift you away from your peak potential. Instead of running with a Plan A approach, you run with a sub-par Plan B. And throwing more training volume on top these existing issues just means you get good at practicing sub par movement and sub par running. No one likes second-rate movies, and no one deserves a second-rate running career. You can do better.
Running Rewired focuses on theory, but more importantly on application. I’ve assembled 15 workouts to literally change the way you move. You’ll craft a body that moves with precision for durability and performance for new PRs. It’s the missing link between where you are today and what your body is capable of. Pre-order today to get the first shipment in the end of November! – you can use the link on the right to link to my own bookstore.
RUNNING REWIRED lays out a program for runners to become stronger, faster, and more resistant to injury. Please see more and purchase RUNNING REWIRED at your local bookstore, running or tri shop, or online from Jay Dicharry.

Are there videos of the Running Rewired exercises?
Hi Jason – I have a little small surprise video planed soon, but its only going to be a fraction of what’s in the book. I’ll be blatantly honest here – to do videos right (professionally) takes a LOT of $$$. More than anyone ever makes back on their books! I tried my absolute best to give all the essential tips i the book – PLEASE read the descriptions carefully! And if you do need some one on one technique coaching, see someone you trust. Likely a local sports-savy PT. We also provide this service in Bend at the REP Lab. happy NY!
I just bought this book and love it! Do you have any recommendations for strength coaches in the NYC area?
Hi Mary – I can’t speak to any specific strength coaches, but I can speak for the folks at Perfect Stride PT and NY Custom PT. Give em a call and they should be able to ether help you out or get you in touch with the right folks. Happy NY!
I have pre-ordered your new book and just got notification that it’s arriving on 22nd January. Just in time to start the year off right, I can’t wait. Thanks for this
My copy arrived. I’ve leafed through the book. I’m glad there are alternative exercises if one doesn’t have access to equipment.
I also am enjoying your work via the Saucony Stride Lab app. Surprised and glad to see some changes after using it the last 3 weeks, 4-5 times per week.
Thanks for the tools. Having been injured a few times, trying to find ways to strengthen and improve on issues I have matters. And the AFX foot maximizer alleviated almost a three bout of PF after a month of use. I tried all sorts of stuff. I’m glad you shared it’s existence.
I’m grateful. Happy New Year!
Hi! I’m working my way through Running Rewired and wondered if you can give me some advice on how I know when I’m ready to move from one section to the next? For example, how do I feel confident that I’ve mastered the posture fix and rewiring and am ready to move on to focusing on rotation? I’ve had a host of injuries over the last few years and really hope to figure it all out with the help of Running Rewired!
Hi! 2 things:
1. there area number of self tests in RR, and you can assess, and work on the solutions I have if you find specific issues. Especially with posture, a lot of it comes down to practicing good position a LOT so that you don’t fall apart under stress.Don’t beat yourself up if this seems challenging. you’ve spent a lot of years in one position, and that feels normal….because you PRACTICED it. But with practicing new positions it will feel more normal and you’ll be able to find and maintain it!
2. In the chapters I deliver a lot of content around certain messages, but the precision workouts actually are developed to hit all off these skills to train you to move better. As long as you pay strict attention to your posture when doing them you’ll be all a-ok. But don’t be nervous to TRY this stuff even if your posture isn’t perfect yet. they are all just body weight work, and you Arne’t likely to hurt yourself that way. I’d practice these for about 6 weeks if this is all new to you, and then follow there plan I have in the last chapter to work into the loaded movements. Have fun building a better you!
Great, thank you so much for the reply!
