The author describes how to begin, how to buy running shoes, what to eat, and how to avoid bad drivers and ill-intentioned people. He uses true stories, some humorous, some tragic, to illustrate how to deal with all kinds of weather; what to wear, how to avoid injury, and if injured, how to recover. In the appendix he shows you how to select a pace for optimal race performance. | Alive And Running by George C. Erkmann, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
