Whatever your reasons for starting a running program, this easy-to-use, practical book will answer all of your questions. Newly revised and expanded, this best-seller safely guides beginning runners from shoe selection to their first 10K.

More than 20 million North Americans run recreationally — an astonishing figure that shows just how popular running is as a method of improving fitness.

  • running faster and farther
  • maintaining fitness while vacationing
  • building toward half and full marathons
  • running with the family
  • including running during pregnancy and after the baby arrives
  • coming back from injuries
  • and the latest on nutrition and running.
