Customer Reviews
Great Training Tips
As a returning runner, this book was exceptional in the training regimens it provided. The intro training schedule was a bit easy for me, but the intermediate schedule is working very well. The advanced schedule looks formidable, but we'll see. The information on aerobic capacity and diet were also great. A good book for new or intermediate runners.

This book helped me get started with running for exercise. Now I've decided to try my first 5k and am in the middle of the Intermediate Training section to prepare for it...
