This book was OK with some good basic information but like most of his newer edition books, they are more like text books for a course.
I prefer he's older books

Прочитането на книгата е пълна загуба на време за онези, които имат известни познания в областта на бягането в пресечени местности и които искат да научат нещо ново, полезно, конкретно и практично по тази тема. В книгата има твърде много безполезни съвети, които, ако бъдат прилагани, буквално биха лишили бегача от усещането за самото бягане и биха го превърнали в машина, едва ли не сляпо изпълняваща някакъв наръчник как да се мисли, как да се стъпва, как да се диша, когато е топло или студено, какво да се облече при определена температура на въздуха и прочее. Книгата ме разочарова.

Good, but it did not tell me much that I hadn't already figured out for myself by now. This would have been a fine and helpful book to read when I started trail running in 2012.
