Summary: This book lacks substance
Comment: I wanted a book that provides detailed information about things like running training programs, information about injuries, and information about nutrition. While the Runner's World Complete Book of Running mentions these topics, the information is so watered down that it is barely useful. If you want some serious information I suggest getting Tim Noakes "The Lore of Running" instead. If you simply want to read some warm fuzzy articles that don't really say anything, then buy this book.

Summary: Runners World Complete book of Running ($4.95--one)
Comment: This book is a joke. It is about two inches square. Don't waste your money by ordering it. The large book which has the same cover is great but this one is a waste of your time and money to return it.

Summary: Good introductory text into running
Comment: 'Runner's World Complete Book of Running' is a compilation of different articles from Runners World magazine. It has 37 articles written by about 25 different authors. While the book has a lot of breath, it lacks a certain commonality between the chapters. Amby Burfoot. The editor, attempts to rectify this by writing introductions and postscripts after each chapter.

With that, the book has a lot of valuable information and is an excellent overview for those that want an summary of the various aspects of running.

On the other side, the book, notwithstanding its title is not 'Everything you need to know to run....'. There is a lot of information and details that are left out.

But if you are looking for a good introductory text into running, this is it.
