Although reasonable for a beginner it mainly looks at running in USA and their races. It says little about European trail running eg Fell running or up hill races on mainland Europe which is why I personally gave it a low score.

Good for beginning runners only
29 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
I'm an avid runner and do most of my training/racing on roads. Thought I'd pick this up to get some info on converting to trails or at least running more on trails. I will still do so, but not because of having read this book. The only information of value for me was the section on animals and what to do when you see them. Ie. Grizzly vs Black bear, etc. Other than that, the authors make it a point to put down road-runners at every chance they can get. From footwear and clothing choices, to attitudes and mindsets-these authors clearly feel that they are better than your average road runner. Most of the trail runners I know are easy-going, laid-back, and very likely to help anyone out--definitely not the snarky Chase and his co-author. However, having said all that, if you are a beginning runner and can ignore the unnecessary side-bars, you could gain some general running knowledge from this book.

Lots of info
8 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
While the book does have a lot of good information, I found it all to be overwhelming, almost like they were writing the book for people who already ran trails. It made me want to give up because I felt like I could never be as good as these other people the book was referring to.

Helpful book about trail running
22 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought this was a helpful introduction to trail running. I recently became interested in running trails after completing my first marathon, and deciding later to delve into ultramarathons and trails. I only gave it four stars because I found some of the information to be repetitive of so many running books on the market. However, if you do not have many running books and are interested in what it takes, and what you need, to get started on trails, this is a good book.
