"Dr. Maharam is at the forefront of exercise-related medical issues in the U.S. and around the world. In his work as a marathon race director, he has done much to make the sport of distance running safer and more enjoyable for hundreds of thousands of runners. He's that rare sports medicine expert who knows how to explain the science in terms that average athletes can understand and follow." - Amby Burfoot, former executive editor of Runner's World magazine
