I bought this book on the recommendation of another reviewer on Amazon. I am very happy that I did. I have other books on the subject, but none of them are as comprehensive and thorough as this one. It is the type of book that you can scan for pertinent topics, or read straight through! Many, many tips for all levels of runners (very good beginner tips), all ages of runner, including stretching tips, yoga postures for warming up and staying limber, how to prepare for various races, and so many other subjects. The writing is clear and concise. Topics covered include: Training, Racing, distance running with various levels and information on how to prepare for each race (mile, 5K, 10K, marathon, etc.), The Psychology of Running, Nutrition, Safety, Sports Medicine, Aging and Exercise, Walking, and Equipment.

This book is a must have for all runners. Doesn't matter if you just started running or if you have been for years! Great running tools and training plans to get you ready for any length race!

This book gives you several options, mindsets and thoughts to keep in mind before you start running or that "next step" in intensity. Everything from diet to shoes. I would highly suggest anyone to read this book.
