Straightforward and Comprehensive submitted by Meginator on August 27, 2019, 10:45pm This book offers a simple, yet comprehensive, guide to the beginning runner, covering a variety of essential topics from choosing shoes and outerwear to stretching appropriately. The overall tone is approachable but can sometimes comes across as a tiny bit condescending, perhaps overselling the benefits of running to readers who have already invested enough in the idea to pick up the book. Nonetheless, the text is straightforward and incredibly easy to follow and the beginners’ plans seem achievable (with adaptations suggested if they prove too difficult for some runners). This slim volume is packed with valuable information and it’s a great first stop for anyone considering taking up running as a hobby or as a serious competitive pursuit.
