5,0 su 5 stelle Very detailed and with all the important info.

Getting back into running, after a 30 year absence, this will be the book to refresh my aging mind.
Most important.... stay off the injury list.
Been there done that as far as races go, so now it will be more relaxing and this book will fit the bill.
Main purpose: keeping good and fit during the summer — cycling will be the supplement — that when the snow flies and XC skiing starts there will be a lot less of a built up period.

I've tried running before, but quickly lost interest without any specific goal other than "run a 10K." This was different. Having a 13 week plan laid out for me with more walking to start was perfect, especially since I began this program 3 months after having a baby. I diligently completed each run and logged it afterwards, and just 4 days ago ran my first 10K in 4 years with a time of 65:23. And no walking! For the first time in my life I am a consistent outdoor runner and enjoying it.

I came across the title of this book while searching online for running plans that would ease me back into running. It's been seven years since I last ran and over those years I have been sitting at a desk in front of a computer. I am now on Week 7 of the program and hope to take part in the Great Ethiopian Run (10k) in November.

When I first read through the sections I thought it didn't have enough information to warrant the title of 'Beginner's' handbook, but with hindsight I see that it actually does have everything I need. The book covers topics including clothing, what to eat, best times to run and even includes a few safety tips.

The book promises to deliver a plan that gradually increases your body's strength and endurance without subjecting it to undue stress. Seven weeks into the program I can truthfully say that it does deliver. The added advantage is that your body doesn't wear out after a couple of runs so you tend to stick with the program longer.

The book also goes beyond the 13-week period and includes advice on what to do after you've completed the training. It also includes a complete 13-week run faster program which is something I'm looking forward to doing after I complete the initial 13-week program.

The only negative thing I can say about the handbook is that the stretches are not illustrated. Though the instructions are pretty clear I personally find it easier to do a new stretch if I have an illustration to guide me. And since it is a book designed for beginners I believe illustrations would have made a sensible addition. Other than that I have nothing to complain about.

There are other books that promise results faster. I haven't read any of them, but I can tell you that this program really does minimize the physical strain of getting active again. I would recommend it to anyone who has been in an inactive job for several years and wants to get back into shape.

The Kindle Edition is formatted well and I have no issues with it.

This is an excellent guide for first time runners. I have never found running to be easy and this guide helped me to go from zero to 6 km minimum three times a week. This method decreased my incidence of injury, allowed me to run without hyperventilating, increased my stamina over a reasonable amount of time, and gave me a sense of accomplishment. I would recommend it to anyone who is learning to run for the first time.

I had a lot of "light bulb" moments reading this book. I wish I had read it earlier when I first took up running, it would definitely have made my life easier and my training more comfortable.

It's sensible, measured, and to the point. It will probably be frowned upon by purists as it encourages doing other sports as well on top of running to get fit without just running, since the poudning takes quite a toll on the body.

While I've read several books on running recently, I still learned a lot from this one and basically, having tried various methods and programmes, I am much more confident this one will work without me getting injured in the process. ("Natural Running" was all about minimalist shoes, which is a bit hard on your feet if you're not a top athlete already, and The Ultimate Beginner's Running Guide programme is pretty tough, with training five days out of seven.)

A word for girls and women here : it's also the first running guide I come across that also covers a couple of women-specific topics, namely, sports bras and running during pregnancy.

The chapter about injuries was also really enlightening and gives much more to think about than a simple list of most common injuries.
I just started the programme so it's to be continued!
Taking things so easy is a little frustrating - you don't end up completely winded feeling you've achieved a feat - but to my surprise, neither was it that easy, if only because you need to keep tabs on the various exercises.

I'll edit this review once I complete the programme. Nice and easy does it!

EDIT 13 weeks later : I successfully completed 10k after following very exactly each step of the programme... it worked!
