The seller described the book accurately except for the smell. Someone at some point in time had marked out something on the inside cover with one of those industrial-strength black permanent markers (the ones that are one step above a Sharpie). It stank to high heaven. I had to get a razor blade and cut a rectangle of the paperback cover out because the smell was so bad. But otherwise the book was in fine condition.
I was very disappointed with this book. The information was outdated and the section on women’s running was inaccurate.
Very useful book about running (for both the novice and the experienced runner). I am intrigued by Galloway’s recommendation for walk breaks in long runs.
I tried the run/walk and it works. Hopefully this will enable me to continue my triathlon career.
I found this book at a bookstore. The book stood out as readable and interesting. It guided me right in to the world of running. I went from overworking and burning out to being able to run for two hours at a time.
