Great Training Log
I LOVE this training log. This log is perfect for the busy runner. It has just enough room for all you need to record, but the only drawback (to me) is that there is not a section for the weather. I do, however, like the shoe history and Rave Run sections. I have owned at least 10 of these journals from Runner's World, and I have never been disappointed. The advice that is given in the ...

Burfoot Delivers Again
Burfoot's "The Runner's Guide to the Meaning of Life" is so simple yet so thorough. It's such a quick read, but the depth and variety of each short, powerful chapter is incredible. I literally could not put it down. I particularly connected with the chapter on traditions (the need for anchors in this fast-paced world). Amby talks about the draw of Manchester and it's annual Thanksgiving day Road ...

If you are a beginner buy it
If you are one of those people who always see these runners and envy them but are afraid to start because the very few times you tried you almost felt your heart coming out of your ears then this is the book for you. The book is exactly what it claims to be, for beginners. It is full of motivational facts and answers a lot of your questions as you progress. I started browsing it in Spring ...

Pure Inspiration
This book is great for runners of all age and experience. I have never been much of a fitness nut, but Mr. Burfoot's book inspired and helped me to begin a personal running program. I have already recommended this book to many people and will continue to do so.

excellent book
I'm training for my first half marathon and I picked this book up at the library. It's simple, easy to read and has excellent advice. It's easy to criticize books that are reader friendly--too many pictures and graphics, not much text per page. I find, though, that books like that are easier to pick up and read and keep reading. I recommend this book to everyone serious about running.

The title fits
The book is extremely informative. It covers topics I've heard and read about a thousand times, yet it still manages to teach me something new about each one. I love the fact I don't use just certain chapters of the book, i use the whole thing. The chapters or sections that do not teach me anything, are at least, very entertaining!

Great running stories by a well-traveled runner

If you want to find out what it's like to run in some of the strangest and most exotic races around the globe (and how to train for them), this is the book for you. Bart's writing pulls you into the event and holds you there with ease. You find that running is not ...

great book!
This book not only offers training tips, but racing strategies and most important- inspiration. I found the look at the mental side of running to be incredibly motivating, and i couldn't wait to get on my shoes and run out the front door. I re-read parts of it before races, just to keep up my mental fitness as well as my physical. I recommend this to ANY runner.
