Customer Reviews

Great book!

I would highly recommend this to newer runners because it is all about the basics. I loved it though even though I have been running for many years. I really like the author and her writing. I also have her newest book The Secrets of Skinny Chicks which I enjoyed. I hope she comes out with more books in the future.

Thank you for your inspiration...

Karen, I received your book at the exact right moment. I admittedly don't really like running but I love races! Yes, I know this sounds rather bizarre but I love being involved in 5km, 10km, 1/2 marathons and even triathlons! In order to finish these I need to run to train!Well, I am just getting over a broken foot (I can walk fast but not run much yet) and have a 1/2 marathon in a week. I got Karen's book in early December and it was the kick I needed. I have been training and will be finishing my race! It may be a lot slower than originally planned but I will do it!I highly recommend this book for women = especially if you don't think you would like to run!
