I'm not sure this short book is a "definitive guide" but I enjoyed reading it. It's the author's personal story as much as a guide, but you can learn a lot from listening to people share their experiences, so why not! Speaking of the author: he's Indian, and his ESL-tinged writing might be distracting to some; personally, I found it charming. My favorite bit of wisdom: "Tasty food is not always healthy, but you can always make healthy food tasty."
Very good book for beginners... Everything that one may require to start running seriously. Very helpful tips for regular and long distance running. Worth reading.....
I picked up this book because I thought to read some basic running tips but in depth rather than seeing random youtube videos.but i got disappointed. Nothing much new thing to learn...Should be reading books written by more experience runner....
Although, this book is a good introduction to running world, it tells very little about what to do in it. It's like, it's simple, download the Nike app.
