"This was a really informative read. I learned a lot about how to start a running program and it's a book I can see myself going back to as a reference guide. My one complaint is that Oprah is mentioned a little too much."
"I really like how the author seems to be encouraging the reader -- no pressure sales or guilt, just "you can do it" and "well, if it didn't work, try it again!" I was going to just read this book and then return it but, from page 1, I can definitely see myself going back to this book time and time again."
"I've been running for under a year and have completed 1 5K and have a 5-miler in a few weeks. I've also had a knee injury already and had to deal with surgery (un-related to the knee injury or running). AND I'm a full time grad student and work part-time. Needless to say it can be hard to be motivated and stay committed, let alone develop an effective training program. I read this book and took notes in my training log. I think it will be a useful resource for improving my strength, endurance, speed, and technique. AND to help stay motivated - the hardest task of all. I found the techniques to be applicable to even the most beginning runners - but modifiable for far more advanced runners. And the beauty of this sport, after all, is that mastering the basics and then building on them, is all you need. The motivational advice can seem a bit cliche, but as we say in psychology, a placebo effect is still an effect. I'll take what works, even if it's just common sense. Even with my note-taking, I see myself returning to the text. If only for the motivation...just put down the book and go for a run!"
