Product Description
This is the only book a runner needs - it has advice for every step of a runner's development. Running is one of the most popular activities in the world - every day more and more people take it up. But how many runners, recreational or competitive, are doing it right? How many can say they take the right precautions to minimise injury? How many can weather the aches and pains that come with a new programme? How many will persevere, gaining strength and stamina until they reach peak performance? The Complete Book of Running provides advice on everthing the runner needs to know about: from shoes to energy drinks, from common injuries to marathon training, from breathing better to pushing past your plateau.
