It had some helpful things in it. It is made up of articles from Running World magazine (which is a great mag). It has many helpful training tips from beginner(me) to more advanced (not me). However, I found it annoying that it didn't seem to list the individual authors of sections (other than Amby Burfoot's opining at the end of the chapter). So while I found it helpful, I think it could have been edited and published inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

First off, there are plenty of photographs of people running and looking fit and happy. That's the sort of thing you want from your fitness magazines or books. There was advice that was rather spurious and some of it was rather preachy. Take vegetarianism for instance; I will never become a vegetarian. I know it works for people, but I like meat too much. I already have a dietary restriction due to having celiac, so don't tell me that meat is out of my diet now too. I don't care about your ethical ideals. Animals exist, many exist just for our consumption, thus we should eat them. That is my ethics on eating meat. What other point does a cow even have? Perhaps I am being close-minded.
Since the book is on running in general, it realizes that women run too. Therefore, there is an entire section on women in running that I skipped since I don't need to know how to choose a sports bra.
It does tell you how to prepare for marathons and how to carbo load and the other nutritional information. If you are thinking of taking up running for any reason, this book is pretty good for that. ( )
