I was a runner in the day, and I might be still be a runner had this book been available then. I can't imagine any book more thoroughly covers what runners need to know to run not just faster, but safely and with a great deal more comfort. I got this book to give to one of my sons, who is becoming a runner, but he is still waiting for it while I make my way through it. Much of what is covered also applies to my latest passion: long distance hiking. I just find the book incredibly motivating. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get outside and get fit.
