Injury Blues and the Red Running Shoes

A runner dreams of visiting his friend in Rio de Janeiro, exploring the beautiful hills of the city the way he knows best - with his trusty red running shoes. But before he can make the trip - disaster! An injury brings his training to a halt and gives him the dreaded 'injury blues'. As every runner knows, overcoming an injury is an athlete's greatest challenge.

What should a runner do when they can no longer run?

With charming, pastel illustrations and an endearing hero, this book is the perfect pick-me-up for anyone facing the injury blues, to help them on the road to recovery. A story of resilience, perseverance, and the joy of running!
