[Mike Niebrzydowski · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wayyyyy out of date (by like 35 years), but it was definitely interesting to read about the running community and "science" and opinions from back in the day. Often humorous (though not meant to be) and clearly geared towards men... different times for sure. Biggest thing I took from it was that you shouldn't train - you should go out and run; training can sound too intense or not fun.
