Great book for the runner

I bought this book as a gift for my son, a new runner. He has found the book to be very helpful to him.

Fantastic First Running Book

This is a fantastic introduction to running. If you're new to the sport or are considering starting to run, I can't recommend a better guide. This short, readable book will provide you with all of the basics. I've continued to return to it as I've progressed in my running, and it still continues to be helpful and inspiring. Thanks, Amby.

GREAT Book for all runners

I ran all through grade school and high school and am picking up the sport again after some years off. I found this book to be a great re-introduction after some time off. I think Amby describes it best as that book that has lots of answers to the questions you've been asking yourself for months (or years), and instead of buying many books to find the answeres, they are all in one small, relatively inexpensive book.If you run, buy it, you'll like it, if you are thinking about running, buy it, it'll help you along the path towards your running goals.

Pure Inspiration

This book is great for runners of all age and experience. I have never been much of a fitness nut, but Mr. Burfoot's book inspired and helped me to begin a personal running program. I have already recommended this book to many people and will continue to do so.

Excellent and Easy....

I won this book from a Runner's World contest, so price for me was excellent.Very good beginners book....splains all the different topics about running in concise and informative 1-2 page chapters. Great Resource.
