Recenzii

A masterpiece... I can relate to Running in the Midpack so well. This book will teach you what to look out for, how to balance your running so that you achieve the best "you" possible, and to extend your running throughout your life
a really, really, really good book
A really useful book for anyone who has just got into running and is keen to explore every avenue, or indeed it's also super-handy for those of us who have plateaued slightly - where it's all started off swimmingly, but the past few months have been a bit of a battle
A lovely book. it is really simple about getting a nice relationship with your running where it helps your life and changes with your life. Very accessible.
