Summary: Terrific guide to running!
Comment: I love this book. I could barely run two minutes without stopping, but somehow being told to run 10 minutes gave me the mental push to actually do it. I soon learned that the first 10 minutes are always the hardest. Once you get past those 10 minutes, your body is warmed up and your breathing becomes more relaxed, and you can go a lot longer. If you expect it to be easy, then maybe running isn't for you. But if you're serious about becoming a runner, this book is for you. Although I was close to 50 pounds overweight when I started the book, I was able to follow it religiously. I just wish he had another one for the next 90 days. I guess it's time for me to start his 4 hour marathon book!

Summary: Start Running!
Comment: This book is so great! I was looking for a book that didn't start you out with a walk/run combonation (because i already did that). Instead I wanted a book that would start you running right away. I think this book was just what I was looking for. It takes you through each day and it gives you tips for each day and also acts as a running log. To those who are seriously out of shape right now I would recommend you start with even a smaller segment of time or try 10 minutes of walk/running first, because the first day you are suppose to run 10 minutes straight (which can be a little tough at first). I challenge anyone to give this book a try, it's really awesome!

Summary: Not for the really unfit
Comment: This book looks like a great plan to follow to get fit - if you're young, or fairly fit to begin with. On day 1, for example, you're supposed to run to 10 minutes. Well, if I could run for 10 minutes, I wouldn't need a book to get me in shape! If I could run for 10 minutes, that would probably mean running for more than a mile, since I can walk a mile in under 15 minutes.
The author, in the preface, explains that he came upon the running-keeps-you-fit realization while in graduate school, after having gained 7 pounds (horrors!) over the course of a semester. So, if that's the kind of weight problem you have, this book is probably great. But if you're middle aged, have been inactive for years, and have a weight problem that's a little more like that of mosy Americans looking fro diet books, this book won't work until you get a lot fitter first.
