Simple, motivating and a fun read! January 5, 2009
A straightforward, simple and motivating book; which really is great fun to read. I have never run in my life although now both my teenage daughter and I have started (after having both looked at the book). We are charting our progress in the charts provided in the book and I am having a huge amount of fun doing something that for 40 years I have avoided like the plague!
Not a great read for serious technical or marathon runners I suspect (as they may probably know a lot of the techniques already); however for the beginner or fairly novice runner I think it is FANTASTIC! Thank you to the authors for their inspiration..I would never have believed it of myself :)
I want to give it SIX stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! December 20, 2008
I have run a 5k race and have been running for almost a year, however, a dog attack whilst out on a run has shattered my confidence and I havent run for over a month. I have the "Beginner Runners" book which is excellant but being a member of Weight Watchers online, loads of members were recommending this book so I decided to buy it to see if it would help rebuild my confidence.
This book arrived yesterday and I can honestly say that if you want to start running then THIS is the book to buy - the ONLY book!
The format is incredibly friendly and if you dont like huge amounts of text then this is excellant. It is full of true life stories, hints and tips from real people just like me and includes a plan for beginning running and for going on from there.
I have printed my name on the front cover already and have signed the agreement to "get fit" and will be starting now despite the fact that it is Christmas week!
I am also going to purchase copies of this book for friends who want to run but dont have the confidence. I just wished I had ordered this book before so that I could have got more copies as Christmas presents.
If you want to run - BUY THIS BOOK!
Made me breath a sigh of relief. Fantastic book!! September 1, 2008

I've been running for a couple of months now and even tho I was told that running was a case of...well, just running, I always felt a bit out of my depth. Being a very competitive person I thought the best thing was to run till I thought I would die, then try and run harder the next day. In the end, total burnout for me.
As running is a such a natural thing, I didn't think there would be any books on how to do it, but I was amazed at how many there were. Out of all the ones I could have picked, this was by far the best choice. I started reading it and realised that I didn't have to feel bad if I couldn't run a 5 minute mile, and the relief was immense.
This book told me all the basics, clothing, shoes (which I already knew about) and it took me right back to the beginning with an easy to follow programme which even a complete beginner could do. It gave great advice about everything I needed to know without pics of stick thin runners on every page, (guaranteed to make you feel inadequate). Great stories from 'real people' who even started running into there 50's, totally inspirational.
The 60 minute 'run/walk' plan is fantastic, and after my burn out and feeling thorougly awful about my prior poor performance, I was able to run better, stronger and for longer than ever before, the runners rush hit me hard and it was great.
It has progress charts for you to fill in which are great for you to see how your doing and tips and articles which make you want to get your runners on!
A fantastic book, worth every penny.
Buy this! You won't regret it! August 12, 2008
I've been trying to motivate myself to get out and jog in order to get healthier and fitter but haven't been able to. I received this book yesterday and hadn't even got through the first chapter before I was out jogging! It's so user friendly and is really aimed at those - like me - who have very little, or no running experience or those who have had a long break.
The book includes tables/graphs to fill out in order to track your weight loss progress alongside a fill-in plan which allows you to track your progress in terms of sticking to the running schedule and the distance you are running. It really is motivational and fun - I definitely recommend it.
I love this book! June 5, 2008

I bought this on recommendation and have been 100% happy with it - it's full of incredibly useful information both for runners just starting out and for those who've been running for longer - my husband even likes to read bits and he's a hardcore 42 minute 10K runner of a few years now! For me, I am looking to lose weight and get fit and even I can manage to do the programme - it's so easy and I'm actually at the point where I look forward to going out. Really can't praise it enough!
