Negative Positive
Title: Nice overview
Review: Written by several different authors with Burfoot as a guide at the beginning and end of each chapter, this book is very enjoyable.I am a new runner this past summer and I have found this book to be a very helpful guide to getting started. It provides a good basic overview of the important parts of running--avoiding injury, nutrition, shoes, etc.Because of the format of using several different authors, there are places in which the book conflicts with itself. I did not find this troubling. In fact, I think it led me more to realize that running is not an exact science. Different training methods work for different people. Because of the variety in the book, readers will more likely be able to find what works best for them as they "listen to what their body tells them."
Is the review positive or negative?
