Ive only just started running, so this book is perfect. With everything from stretches, pre-run warm ups, fitness tips and running programs included, it covers it all. The running programs for varied ditance running (5km, 10km, half marathon and marathon) are all you need to prepare for your first big run.

Nicely produced book, but with little depth of content. The author admits he is not medium distance runner and it shows.

Get Running literally takes you on a journey from non-runner to runner. I have never been able to run, but have always wanted to. There is a great section on exercises to strengthen muscles in order to improve your running, as well as training plans to get you started. Everything a newbie like me might need is covered, even how to choose the best running shoes, I was interested to see he suggests not choosing 'the most bouncy'. I feel fitter, and inspired to keep running. Great Book, easy to follow.
