My only regret is not having bought this book earlier.

I've been running for a year and now I want to train for triathlon. I bought this book hoping to find some guidance, and I found much more. This book:

-Focuses on every aspect of training, or as the author says "eating, living, and sleeping triathlon"
-Exposes and explains rigorous yet simple training methods and plans for complete novices or experienced competitors
-Gives tips on running/biking/swimming technique
-Gives specific details regarding ironman triathlon (e.g. specific pre-race nutrition)
-ALWAYS backs arguments up with studies and other forms of evidence
-Has appendices with workout plans, workout journals, yearly workout ... Read More:

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.

'The Runners Handbook' is a comprehensive book covering nearly all aspects of running. It stretches to just over 700 pages, which is a lot of information about this sport. The topics it covers are extremely varied and include, reasons to exercise, getting started and maintaining motivation, training diaries, beginner and intermediate programs, racing, equipment, nutrition, altering your running to suit different environments, fitting your training in with everyday life, women runners, aging runners, kids and disabled runners, illness and injury, cross training and supplemental training and overall wellness. Glover writes extremely well and informally, making for an interesting and engaging read. This book has plenty of tables, but no diagrams that would ... Read More:

I thought I knew everything about running until I read this book. Clearly written with excellent diagrams, packed with sound advice and no-nonsense guidelines for joggers and serious runners. I found the sections on injury prevention and recovery particularly encouraging,having just had to come back after six weeks layoff and getting my recovery programme all wrong.

I was always looking to start running out side the gym but I was always looking for a training guide, finally this book helps to improve my running ability. It's almost like having a personal trainer side by side. Will definitely recommend for those who want to start amateur running

If you fancy taking up running, or you are currently running and want to push yourself further in either distance or speed I urge you to buy this book. Dean Karnazes explains how we went from "Average Joe", a man with a wife and 2 kids, a demanding job, a relatively inactive lifestyle, to a guy who runs 100 plus miles without blinking an eye lid.

This book not only inspred me, but has encouraged me to push my boundaries and hit new Personal Bests in distance and times. A definite must for unfit and fit people alike to encourage you to get out there and take up running.

Brilliant Read

I've been training for triathlon for only a few months but I had so many questions that have built up during that time and this book answers nearly all of them. The best thing about it for me, as a relative newby to the sport, is that it sets things out in a straightforward manner and takes most of the guess work out of training for an Ironman or other triathlon distances. Also, there is a significant focus on making the most of the time available for someone with a full time job, family commitments etc, which is excellent.

Highly recommended.
