Customer Reviews

motivational and very practical
This book has been fantastic for me. I started with a 5K and I have followed the programs through 10k and half marathon. Following the programs has meant that I feel I am doing the right training - and Ive got fitter and fitter without any injury (touch wood). Id really recommend this for all levels of runner from beginner to club runner.
