 Amazing Resource!! July 9, 2010
H. Schiesher
I used to run cross country in high school; however, in college, I chose cheerleading over running and began focusing on easier workouts, like the elliptical. Then, I got married and had a baby. During the pregnancy, I gained well over 60 pounds. I started exercising again at the health club, taking classes, etc., but I was not losing the weight! It was very frustrating. Then I got a new job as a teacher and jr. high track coach! The idea of being a track coach who hadn't run since high school was frightening....so, I decided that I needed to get back in the swing of running. I figured that since I had tried to stay active, I could just go out and do it. I was wrong!! I got injured, and was frustrated. I decided to go on-line and see if I could find a book to give me the basics of how to get back into running after taking time off. I didn't want to run competitively, I simply wanted to be able to keep up with my track kids on an easy road run day for supervision purposes. :)
This book was the answer!! It gave me the routine I needed to break back into running (no injuries from this routine!) It was also motivational!! I started waking up before my husband and daughter woke up and went for my run/walk work-out and then I would do the strength routine also provided by this book. I ended up losing all of my baby weight, and I was able to wear out my track kids. This year, I have started entering into races, and I have fallen in love with the sport of running all over again!! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is new to running or returning to running. It is very imformative on how to do it safely, stay motivated, and the benefits of running for your health!
What a great read :) March 17, 2010

I am a new runner who quickly incurred an injury because I went from the couch to "too much too soon". I knew nothing about running except get a new pair of great shoes, and get out there and run!
I WISH I wouldve had the foresight to research running before I started. This book has it all, and it is a really easy read. I couldnt put it down. I believe that this book is one that you hold on to forever and refer to many people.
I highly recommend this book to new and experienced runners :)
Most complete running book I've read so far January 19, 2010

I've been running for just over a year now (two half marathons and one 5k). A marathon is on the horizon for this year. I've read several running books so far, and this is by far the most worthwhile, well-written, and helpful read of them all! Honestly, I think it would be just as valuable to a man as it is to a woman. My favorite highlight of the book is the succinct, understandable way that it clarifies what exactly running jargon means (fartleks, tempo runs, etc) for us newbies. That said, advanced runners would benefit from this book as well. Fantastic book!

I gave this book and the Runner's World Book of Women's Running to my daughter for her birthday. This book was quite cheap in comparison to the Runner's World Book but my daughter said it was very good and an excellent resource. She actually read both books within two days of her birthday and says she loves both although both are quite different. She says she will use information and training schedules from both books. She rates this book highly.
keep returning to this book December 6, 2009

I needed to buy a replacement book for the library after my puppy crewed on a running book I had checkedout. This is the one I selected form Amazon. Of cource I read it before handing it over and loved it, so I ordered myself another copy. I have since bought a copy for all my running girlfriends. I fing the book motivating. By following most of the advice and helpful ideas, I completed a several half Marathon races and am currently training for the full Marathon.
