Ready To Run by Kelly Starrett is a good book to diagnose and treat many of the injuries that are associated with running and sports. It is not a physiology book per se, but does go into the different muscles that are used in running.

In addition, Kelly has a book Becoming a Supple Leopard, which is more like a text book on drills and exercises to increase mobility in different muscle groups. These book will explain a lot of the physiology plus give you the means to help treat and prevent your injuries!

The classic college and graduate school text book for physiology is "Excercise Physiology" by McArdle, Katch, and Katch. It's more physiology than anatomy. If it's anatomy you want, there are plenty of anatomy reference materials out there, including a college-level coloring book that one of my friends swore by.

You can buy used textbooks at local college bookstores, and certainly on the web.

For General first year Anatomy and Physiology, McCardle Katch and Katch is extremely common with the Marieb and Saladin texts not too far behind.

For a deeper dive, Astrand's Textbook of Work Physiology is great as is George Brooks' Bioenergetics book.

Gray's anatomy is not just a TV show. You can probably find that relatively cheap at Barnes and Noble, but it's pretty dense with beautiful hand drawings vs. typical diagrams.

If you just want to learn anatomy, I'd look into the apps available for your phone or the Anatomy coloring books. Personally never used them, so no recommendations.

Great, thanks for the recommendations.

Just found a copy on ebay for peanuts.

The Lore of Running

I'd recommend that as well

The Inner Game of Tennis. It's a classic.


ETA: I read sports psychology.

I've read that - it's a pretty epic work.

Anatomy for Runners is a good resource. It’s by Jay Dicharry who is a PT. Easy to understand and provides some good information. I’m a therapist also and found it pretty useful in my practice also.

muscleandmotion.com is website for anatomy and shows muscles and stuff if you like visual stuff. they have trials free before you buy i believe.
