"Every Runner - I MEAN EVERY RUNNER - should have this book as a basis for all their physical AND mental needs. I had to get another copy as I had lost mine somewhere after 25 years.
This should be the first book you have in your library before you begin running or as a seasoned marathoner. Have Fun!"
"Read this one back in the early eighties along with plenty of others. Inspiring--perhaps the most inspiring book about running out there. Still a fine read, but read with caution; much of our understanding about calisthenics, stretching, and physiology has evolved and changed since this book. Many of the exercises can hurt you--we now know--so proceed with care and consult a trainer before you try any of Fixx's ideas."
"This has to be one of the most informative and motivating books about running on the market. I ran distance track in high school, and when I tried to get back into it a couple of years ago I found myself with absolutely no motivation. I happened upon this book at the library, and it quickly became one of my favorite running books. I eventually got back into running, and I think about this book on most of my runs. It is a complete guide that covers everything from what type of shoes to buy, to how to get yourself out the door and beyond the driveway, all the way up to running the Boston Marathon. Don't let the date scare you or make you think that the information presented here is outdated. Many of the techniques mentioned in this book were often employed by my track coach, and that was in 2001. It is an old book, but a good one - a classic, if you will, in the running world. Give it a chance."
