Editorial Reviews
From the Author
The long-term health of THE RUNNER'S HANDBOOK is certainly gratifying. In April 1978 the first edition quickly became a #1 trade paperback bestseller (Publisher's Weekly) for all categories. It was revised in 1985 and in 1996 it was completely rewritten. The 3d edition included imput from my wife who is an exercise physiologist. The goal was to create a total fitness and health manual with running as the centerpiece. It is a fun, motivational book--just like our running classes. After all, if running isn't fun, why would you stay with it! To date almost 400,000 copies of the three editions of this book have been sold. Thanks! Enjoy your running and reading!
