Book Description

Fitness Spectrum Series February 26, 2003

From customizable workouts to rock-solid running advice, Fitness Running provides workouts from one of America's most respected coaches. Together with coauthor Joe Henderson, Dick Brown lays the groundwork for a detailed approach to running that will help you increase your fitness, maintain your stamina, recover from injury, and prepare you for the races ahead.

Fitness Running offers a system of great workout advice for a variety of fitness and racing goals. In addition to customized programs and a log book format that allows you to easily record your plans and track your results, you'll get expert advice on gear and shoes and practical training tips to boost your running performance.

Brown has become an established authority on running. U.S. Olympians Suzy Favor Hamilton and Vicki Huber are just two of the top athletes he's coached in a career spanning 40 years. As both an author and a coach, Brown offers insight that few can match and know-how that few can claim. Henderson has written 24 books and, together, these running experts give you the one book that will help you get more out of your workouts and go the distance in your personal fitness goals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a book for the novice and beginning runner, June 21, 2008

This review is from: Fitness Running - 2nd Edition (Fitness Spectrum Series) (Paperback)
I found this book very helpful to me. I'm a novice runner returning to a regular exercise routine after some years off. I'm on the other side of 50 so I needed a workout regimen that would allow me to slowly build up to a more streneous program...if I choose. This book doesn't make you feel like a turtle if your running 12 minute plus miles.

It offers very sane and practical advice and provides a variety of routines if you are a casual runner, 5k, 10k, half marathon or marathon runner. The goal of the book is not to try to have you run races, but, it does provide a road map if you decide you want to do it.

I found it very easy to follow and it allowed me to run to my potential without feeling guilty about not slapping a number on my back and trying to set personal best times.
