«True to the title, this book delivers»
A really fantastic book that teaches you as promised, everything about running. You'd think it is as simple as get off the couch and start moving your feet. Once you start running, there are a ton of questions that arise, from
1) what is the best type of shoe to choose
2) How often should you drink water (every 20-30 min, more if it's hot)
3) How fast is too fast (you should be able to carry a conversation, if you are training for distance)
4) How and when should you try to train to get your speed up (not recommended for beginners who haven't been running for more than 1 year consistently 20 miles a week or more)
5) How often should you change your shoes? (Every 500 miles or every 4-6 months or so).
There are also tons of details on common physical problems that arise, why they arise, and how to handle. This is perfect for those that are just learning and want to make sure not to hurt themselves.

«Great book, lots of information!»
It's got bigger print (thank you for doing that) and is easy to follow. It is loaded with information. Really like the book. I did not buy it, but I got if from my local library.
