Outstanding resource for novice and high-mileage runners!
This book is a keeper! Filled with the nuts and bolts of how to run for a lifetime, I can’t be without it. Twice I have given away my personal copy to a new “recruit,” and twice I have proceeded to purchase myself a replacement copy! In fact, my first copy was a personal copy hand-me-down from a committed runner.
Well-written, with a flair for humorous anecdotes that have an important point, this handbook will take you through the best and worst running has to offer. Information on clothing, on shoes, on route choices, racing tips, injury prevention, strength training, healthy eating, when to run, when not to run . . . all are included in this masterfully written guide. And did I mention inspirational! This book will have you running in the worst conditions you can imagine and will have you feeling good about it. What’s more, the index is the best, most comprehensive, and logical one I have ever seen! The index makes The Runner’s Handbook an easy and rewarding resource to return to over and over again. And that makes it a book I can’t run without.
