I bought this book for my daughter who is 15 and is just getting into running. She really liked the book and found a lot of usefull information in it. She did state that there is a lot of information in it for the post menaposal women which, of course, did not apply to her. Overall, It would be a great book for young and old.

I got this book today, Christmas, from my husband. I couldn't put it down and read the entire book. It was great to get some more information on running and how it relates to me as a woman. I ran in high school, but never did any long distances. I completed my first half marathon in June and LOVED it so much. I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate running into my lifestyle. This was a great book. I hope to be a runner for life and feel like this book gave me some new information and insight into how to do that!!
