Great book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Run for Life: The Real Woman's Guide to Running (Paperback)
Only been running over a year when I purchased this book. It was very informative & helped me correct some of my mistakes I was making and didnt even know it. I refer to it often. It has become one of my coffee table books.
