The book is effectively a handbook of running with detailed instructions in six chapters:Getting started
Ready to Run
Healthy and exercise
Food and Nutrition
Becoming a pro
Training plans
The first section is called “reasons to run” and the last gives 26 tips for running your first marathon. The book can therefore take you through all the stages of starting running, getting the right kit and shoes, exercise to avoid injury, training, food and nutrition until you are ready to run that marathon.
Even if you don’t aspire to run that far, the book will guide to in the pursuit of improvement in whatever running you do, helping to maximize the achievement whether you want to run for fun, for health and fitness or competitively.
There is a short section intriguingly called: “How to run faster” and another “Running for busy people”. There are training plans geared to different levels pf running. The book is full of helpful tips and really does have something for everyone.
