A comprehensive guide for runners

If you're just starting out to run and need few guidelines to move forward and get some motivation,this book does the job well.The training plans are laid out well,but not in detail.would have liked some details on exercises in Strength training,core etc

Nothing great

This book is a quick read for absolute beginners. No effective material for those who want to take up serious running.

Good Introduction to Running

The author provides the basic information that a novice runner needs. The book is an easy read and can be completed in one session.

Average book

It's a short with basic information about running that can be helpful especially if you are a beginner. It's an easy read.

Good for beginners

I have been running for a few years and have been forced to take a year off due to injury. I'm starting back and wanted to try a new training plan. I should have known better than to try to find one in a book. This basically tells you the simple dos and don't s of running and how to train for a race. Not a bad read if you have never run before. Not good for for runners with experience.

What I expected

Very helpful for a first time runner. I would like to know more about running form, but other than that I am pleased.
