Customer Review:
This is an excellent book. It gives you thoery and practice for triathlon training. I would recommend it to everyone who wants to run a triathlon. I wouldn't call it a downfall but something that I felt as I read it was that it is the best marketing tool a coach could ask for. Many of the practices... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I just started running, and this is my first booked I've read based on the subject. I'm not into the Tai' Chi philosophical part of the book, but I think there is some solid basis for many of the techniques described. I've been working on the technique for a week now, and it does seem to be of... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from McGraw-Hill
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
There are multiple books on the market for beginning marathon runners. I suspect many, if not most, people compulsive and movitivated enough to train for a marathon will sample more than one of them. I personally think this is wise, as each one I have read has a bit of a different perspective and... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

from Rodale Books
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
I have been running, biking, and doing triathlons for years, and have read a bunch of different books on training/plans. I found this book to be very good. The downside is there is a lot of "fluff" preceeding and following the actual training plans, so it's a bit of a Training Brochure surrounded by... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Wellness Central
Price: $16.49
Customer Review:
This is not a "How to run" book. It's primarily a diary of an amazing runner in an amazing athletic test of endurance, with a lot of advice for runners added in. I recommend this book, especially if you have already read Karnazes' first book Ultra Marathon Man and enjoyed it. Karnazes runs 50... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Bingo! At the age of 50, with 21 marathons and somewhere around 400 races under my belt, I thought I had read everything on the subject of running.
I was wrong!

Customer Review:
I bought this set of CDs two years ago for my daughter. She likes to listen to books-on-CD at night while she is going to sleep. I have bought a number of CDs and I have to say that this is one of the better ones. She still listens to it 2 years later! | 4.5 / 5.0

from Penguin Press HC, The
Price: $14.72
Customer Review:
This is a book that truly inspires. I think the author wants to deliberately focus on the Rugby World Cup of 1995 and the rapprochement that it wrought between ordinary black and white South Africans. He chooses to completely disregard the Inkatha-ANC violence in the context of a power shift and... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
