After learning of the popularity of Hal Higdon, I figured his advice could help me in my new found love of running. I recently started running after I discontinued my usual regimine of weight lifting. I love the intense feeling you get from running, and therefore seeked further advice and motivation for my new hobby/exercise program. This book gives great motivation advice and tips for keeping your running days strong. Although I don't even think about injury, because I am 19 years old, I enjoyed reading the areas of the book related to injury prevention and keeping the body strong. Very good book for motivation, but also for keeping a strong, stable, healthy lifestyle.
