Full Description
Most of us will never be elite athletes, but we can learn from the best runners to get the most from our running. For advice on what to look for in running shoes, to tips on training and nutrition, this practical handbook contains advice about all aspects of running from your first steps right through to training for a marathon. Experienced runners can apply the principles of elite athletes to put together their own training schedule, and there are sample workouts for running from 5km to the marathon. Specific guidance is also given to older and younger runners, along with a chapter looking at issues specific to women runners.
