First the boring, professional stuff. Peter Larson is a biology professor at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, NH where he teaches courses in Anatomy and Physiology, Exercise Physiology, Developmental Biology, and Comparative Anatomy. He has recently been conducting research on the biomechanics of distance running in road races with his undergraduate students. Pete is also a fanatical runner with an somewhat unhealthy fascination with running shoes (or at least his wife thinks so!). He began running seriously in 2007 to get himself back in shape after letting his health go following the birth of his first two children. He has since completed 8 marathons, including the 2011 Boston Marathon, which he ran as an official qualifier (though he crashed hard on Heartbreak Hill...). In addition to his academic pursuits, Pete authors the Runblogger blog (www.runblogger.com) where he writes about running science, running gear, and his personal experience as a runner. Tread Lightly, written with his friend Bill Katovsky, is Pete's attempt to critically evaluate the science behind running form and running shoes. His only goal in writing the book is to help runners do what they love without getting hurt.
