"In this book you'll learn how to stay on track and motivated enough to get to the point where you don't want to miss a run.
There's also lots of important running-related health and nutritional information as well.
Many folks shy away from learning about physical fitness because they think it is complicated, but this book simplifies the subject for you.
Your running will benefit you from your increased expertise."

- Art Liberman

A good introduction to running in general, but I would have preferred more citations to back up some of the statistics he came up with. The section on women running started out very patronising (don't tell me where I should run, mate) but redeemed itself later with sections on osteoporosis and prenatal running.
