Addressing a full range of topics, from getting started to countering the effects of aging, Rodgers covers diet, equipment, training, racing strategies, injury treatment and prevention, and fitting running into a busy schedule. 30 illustrations. Charts, tables, and runner profiles.
Excellent book. Especially the pages for masters runners.

Since, like the author, I am a runner over the age of 50, I felt this book really provided valuable information on training. I especially liked the discussion on weight training. Bill encourages a moderate approach to lifting, which I agree is better than the more intensive weight training that seems to be the norm these days. I highly recommend this book to runners of all levels.
