 Galloway's Book on Running January 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's a very good book for beginners and advanced runners. It's easy to understand and friendly for reading. I'm so happy with this very complete running book.
New Runner, or Stepping Your Running Up a Notch? Start here. December 22, 2006
"Galloway's Book on Running" by Jeff Galloway has become a running classic, providing the basics about running, training, and racing for years.
Galloway does not presume the runner is a casual "New Year's Resolution" jogger who will likely quit in a month. Instead, he looks to build a foundation of sensible workouts, leading to genuine fitness, endurance and speed.
He gives instruction of every detail important to new and intermediate runners, from stretching to hydration, from injury management to weight loss, from running for kids to running after age 40.
Especially useful for runners looking to transition from running occasionally, to running as a lifestyle. Whether for fitness or for racing, there is enough here to progress through to the next stage. Galloway presents training charts, for example, for those looking to run a 5K. If your goal is to finish the 3.1 mile race, or to run about 17:00, there is a chart customizing the necessary training -- four charts per distance (5K, 10K and half-marathon).
Shoes are a key part of a runner's uniform, and there's a chapter on that. There are also sections focused on women's running, the mental aspects of running, and proper form.
Jeff Galloway's credentials as a runner are topnotch, but he has years of experience training runners at all levels. I am convinced this book will provide all a runner needs at those crucial early levels and beyond. I fully recommend "Galloway's Book on Running," and am giving it as a gift to a friend this Christmas.

From a coach and athlete November 15, 2006
Jeff was at his prime when I first discovered his first book. He was running many good races and learning from himself and fellow competitors as he went. I thank him for this back then and now in his second book on running.
Back when I first was reading his book I was caught up in the current thinking that if you were turning good times, things were right, you didn't need to improve form, workouts or anything else. Jeff debunked that and pointed how important it could be.
I took that to heart and I believe that the adjustments I made back then have contributed strongly to my elongated running career.
Thanks Jeff for all your contributions to running and in particular this latest book on our beloved sport.

Outstanding Training Book --- Here You Have It All! April 5, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Whatever you need to know about running, this is the book. There is some entertainment value but I found the tables for planning a 5K, 10K, and marathon very useful. The information on injury is extremely useful; Galloway even tells you when to give up on self-treatment and seek a doctor. This is the one book you absolutely need to train and compete.
If this review was helpful, please add your vote -- Thanks.
