I was hoping this would be a little more in depth regarding training, preparation, plans for adapting, etc.. It was easy to read, and even informative to some degree, but it was basically just a common sense approach to trail running. The format reminded me more of a series of magazine articles or side bars. Most pages only held a few short paragraphs or sentences, broken down into what I would call "sound bites". If one were totally new to running this might prove informative.

This is a lively, readable, informative, comprehensive book about trail running, from the very basic (Why trail run?) through detailed chapters on getting started, running technique, shoes, gear, clothing, nutrition, and safety, with a chapter on particular issues facing women. A very useful guide for runners of all levels of experience and expertise, and a fun read.

Great beginner overview of trail running. Am looking to break into this and it simply answered all my initial questions in easy digestible language.
