Title: Excellent primer for beginner and intermediate runners
Product review: Don't make the same mistake I did and try to start a running program without any knowledge of what you are doing. I ran for 10 years, off and on, starting a program, getting frustrated or injured, and then stopping it for awhile.Then I found this book and read it and got a good ground-level education on the sport of jogging and running. The material is presented in a very funny and entertaining manner, with plenty of pictures and sidebars. The book even includes a tear-out chart for starting a training program that you can post on the refrigerator.I would recommend you read this book as a way to develop a basic knowledge of running safely and effectively, and then purchase Bob Glover's "Runner's Handbook" for even more (and better) information and John Cronin's "Runner's Log" for tracking your progress.This is a good book to read before you start your way in the sport, but it should not be the only one in your library.
