Summary: I want a book that will give me directions, not run-arounds
Comment: This is a book for total beginners.

However, I'm just [mad] that the book is too broad. To every question, the answer is always "well, it depends on...".

I want a clear cut answer, not run arounds. That was a waste of moola.

Summary: LOVE this book!
Comment: It's the first REAL running book for REAL beginners. They don't expect you to eventually run a marathon or race like the wind, but just run for the sheer heck of it. (What a unique perspective among running books!)

The authors address many issues such as the idea you'll ruin your knees, or working out a lower heart rate to burn more fat, and the book is loaded with sound, easy-to-follow advice, information, and motivation.

And they know what a TRUE "beginner" is. I hate books that think 'starting out' means 'run for 30 minutes and work your way up' or that say to walk for a couple of months first. (If I wanted that, I'd buy a book on walking, not running.) The authors offer a realistic, progressive plan for running. Probably the only thing is that the suggested progession plan might be too fast for some, depending on your current fitness level.

The book is practical and sensible, and well-worth the investment.

Summary: The perfect book for beginners!
Comment: This was the first book i purchased shortly after i started running. I didn't know squat. It should be mandatory reading for beginners and intermediate runners, as it is extremely well written, and a great great motivator. It is fun to read, the concepts are right there plain as day. Without this book, i would not have had the guts to start racing. Get this book.
