Editorial Review: Synopsis: This is a friendly sourcebook for both beginning and experienced women runners. It covers training, nutrition, injury prevention, motivation, racing and includes advice from experts and other women runners. It acknowledges the fact that women have different running need from men, and addresses the physical, psychological and social difference that influence the way women should train. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Rather disappointingThere's some good stuff in the 'motivation' section, but other than that this wasn't helpful for me. Too much focus on carrying rape alarms, periods, choosing a pair of shoes, and so on. Not enough practical stuff such as training programmes. Rating:  - Well worth buyingI bought this about 6 months ago when having hauled my rather overweight backside off the sofa for the first time in 5 years I decided it was high time I got fit and lost weight. This book has been invaluable to me. I had never run anywhere (apart from in PE at school 20 years ago and I hated it even then!) so it was a case of starting from scratch.

I think it would be a little daunting to a beginner but is very useful for an intermediate runner looking to improve. On flicking through it I remember chapters on nutrition, racing, beginner's program, choosing trainers, weight loss...just about everything. Probably the best running book a female runner could buy. Rating: - Great BookI bought this book off the back of the below reviews. I have to say I was a little concerned about how much I was going to learn about 'how to run' from a book - alot of people said I would end up reading not running. But I have found this to be a great source of knowledge and a great book to get you motivated about running without being intimidating. It speaks a simple language and touches on ever subject you could imagine that is relivant to running. Highly recommended. Rating: - Book for beginnersI purchased this book when I started jogging as the 'just for women' appealed to me. It contains lots of relevant info and salient points for the beginner and the experienced runner. You can dip in and out of it at any time and most problems and issues are addressed. Lots of encouragement is contained within the straightforward advice. An inspiration!! |
