by Bruce Pierce (Author)
Whether you're a recreational jogger or a competitive road racer, or you're thinking of taking up running, you'd be well advised to read this volume of essays and advice by a former cross-country and track-and-field coach who has raced every distance from five kilometers to fifty miles. The author lays out the history of the pastime-as well as advances in technology, scientific research, and training strategies-in an often amusing fashion. This is both a "how-to" and "why-to" manual, which just might find a special place in your library and your heart.
