 A good book for beginning runners, but a bit basic for intermediate runners April 8, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I am by no means an advanced runner. I run a couple half marathons a year and I average a 9 min/mile pace. This book would have been great years ago when I first started running and training for 5K races. It covers the basics and has some nice pieces on clothing, gear and injuries. I found this book to be comprehensive, but lacking on depth on certain topics, expecially injuries. I think this is a great book for those who are just starting to run or considering their first 5K, 10K and half marathon. However, for those of us who already have miles under our belt and the blisters to prove it, this book may not provide any additional insight that we don't already know.

I am presently training for a half marathon and was looking for a book to hone my skills and improve my technique. A fellow runner pointed out that I was not holding my arms properly and suggested reading this book to prevent further injury. I like the use of photos instead of drawings. I like the motivational writing.

This book has gotten me motivated to think about running in another marathon. I ran in one about 6 years ago and trained with a team. I love to run but have never been too serious about it. This book has good information for people who are getting back into it. I bought the book because I wanted the marathon training plan in it, but found it to be so much more than that. I wasn't planning on reading the book cover to cover at first, but overall it has kept me interested to do just that.

I am starting the Couch 2 5k program, but wanted to read something specific for women. This book is great for anyone who is thinking about running/wanting to get into running. I highly recommend it.

This book is really great for someone who is a beginner. It really has a lot of great tools and information from how to move from a walk to a jog, a jog to start running, and how to train your body to run a marathon.
