«Thoroughly enjoyable tome for running fans!»
I'm a recreational marathoner (7 and counting) but take my running very seriously, regardless. I bought a used, marked up copy of this on amazon and was happily surprised at how much enjoyment and useful information I have gotten from it.
So many profiles of great runners...all presented (no surprise, since it's from RUNNERS WORLD magazine) in abbreviated, interesting biographies that highlight their personal and professional accomplishments on and off the race track. Lots of pearls of wisdom, sage advice and things to think about for runners of all levels, regardless of skill or dedication.
There's something for every runner in this thick, wonderful book which I find myself picking up again and again...especially the night before a race or long run!

«Good biographies»
While it is a little thin on training details, this book does give you some insight into the mindset of these great athletes. As a 40+ runner who idolized some of these greats I was entertained.
