If your goal is to run for life or into your 60's, 70's and 100's then this is a great book full of advice on staying injury free, eating right, maintaining weight and enjoying the sport.
Galloway is great. My only caveat is that this book is mostly a restatement of everything he's already said about run-walking to prolong a running life. But what he's said and keeps on saying is so great!
Good advice for the "aging" runner. He's very cautious/conservative with his run/walk/run method. Which I suppose if you followed exactly, would allow you to run until you're 100! A good chapter on nutrition. One thing I didn't agree with him on though was his recommendation to NOT weight train your legs. I do weight training for my legs which I believe makes me a stronger runner. Good read though, I enjoyed it!

Definitely has that home-spun, self-published feel. Good info, but lots of repetition and possibly unsupported claims and "science". Common sense advice that's helpful, though.
I've heard of this training method and actually have seen it used and know that it works. The book was well written and put things in simple terms that made it easy to understand.
