Help for us bored runners
357185
Although I don't run anywhere near the distance Sage Canaday, et al. run, this book was still a "shot in the rear" for those of us who have to push ourselves out the door to jog our 2-3 miles a day.  I read just a few pages a day and realized the dedication and self-discipline these athletes face every day.  If they can run 20 miles, I can at least run a fraction of that.  I recommend this book to fellow "tired" runners for a boost.  After 35 years of jogging, it was just the cure!  I plan to reread this book when I start getting bored with my routine.  Thank you, Mr. Canaday, for the "push."

A novel revolving around organising an ultra trail race in a remote place

I heard about this novel so many times. I do not full understand the fuss after reading it.

The main story is simple. There are lots of side stories about athletes, running tips and Indian tribes. I can feel the authors enthusiasm towards running, which I greatly appreciate. I guess the book is interesting enough but far from exciting. Be aware most of running tips (food, barefoot, etc) are either unproven or unscientific.

Great read. Contains info useful to new runners preparing for longer run. Puts it in an easy to read humorous format. I would recommend this book to any runner. Would make a great gift too.

Useful guide for visitors who are hiking, but limited use for river runners.

I'm on my 2nd sensor in 2 weeks, and it's dead now too. I'm in the middle of marathon training and I just don't want to waste another minute on this product.

If your a casual runner and don't mind shelling out $[...], then you might like this product. You can custom calibrate, which makes it really acurate for longer distances. I also enjoyed using the Nike+ site. They have lots of challenges for a nice motivation factor. I really enjoyed the week that this thing worked. Hopefully you'll get to use yours longer.

I think this book does a great job for people breaking into a new ultra marathon distance and have no idea how to train. If you've done a few ultra marathons and are looking to better your time, use this as a framework and do some asking around the ultra scene about how to get faster and what workouts to do and avoid. I'd like to see an expanded edition, a version 2.0, that details nutrition and has more advanced plans. All in all, Bryon Powell at IRunFar did a great job on this book and his website and interviews provide a great supplement to this book.

Keeps me mo-ti-va-ted! Running to cadence keeps me focused on the task and hand.  The other runners wonder what the heck I am yelling out which makes it even more motivating!

So far, so good.
I love that I can check my pace no matter where I'm at in my run. Once I figure out how to add a pacer...I'll really love it! It is a great help to my running goals.

Fun trail runners but don't love the fasteners and runs a little tight.  Like but nit my favorite.

Great book and not sure what had taken me so long to add this one to my collection of running/exercise library. I think with the numerous 4's and 5's one can see that the book is a hit for runners. It may not be "the" book for "a" beginning runner, but it is probably safe to add providing you are a runner - or have a goal to be a runner and improve in time to come. If you are more seasoned runner, and enjoy reading about running, you will love this book.

If you are covering miles as part of a weight loss plan this may indeed be too much - but I would imagine that if you have made it to this page (on Amazon) and have got as far as this review, you are probably a runner. Buy it.

Bravo to a brilliant literary contribution for the running community. It is NOT difficult to read for the running minded. It is excellent from startline to finish !!!

I have subscribed off and on to Runner's World for years. I don't run that much anymore as I age, but I still like the show and equipment reviews and the execising tips as they are my favorite articles.

Need some inspiration at mile 10 on your run? Or mile 5? Or heck, if you're like me, mile 1? Then this is for you. Scroll down your run playlist, and double-tap this for an extra boost. Suddenly, you've just yelled, "RUN!" your companion's footsteps are pounding behind you, and you're attempting to escape from daleks. Or cybermen. Or carnivorous snowmen. Or whatever. Or, you're running toward any of these creatures, hell-bent on saving the universe.
Either way.
Geronimo!

A friend highly recommended these running pants cause he loves them. He is a much more serious runner than I am. I just jog a few miles a few times a week. I don't bother keeping track of my time and I never race, so I have no idea if they improve my speed or not. They are a bit snug to get on and they are not nearly as comfy as shorts or loose running pants, so I never use them anymore. For me, they were a waste of money, but maybe they will help more serious runners.

Author has a lot of good ideas and I bookmarked a lot of pages and wrote down a lot of notes.  I am going to be doing the 440's, the Saturday long run and weight baring exercises.

I have a large body build for a runner, stout, like I should be chopping wood or manually doing laundry in the 1800's so no way am I going to make the BMI recommendation.  I eat clean and mostly vegies and avoid a lot of carbs but I don't think I'm going to be looking like the cover of Runner's World or an elite runner anytime soon since I honestly have no physical ability other than to withstand a ton of pain.

I have run since 2008 but this is going to be my first half this September, about six months from now as I write this.  I think my running style, weight, and choice of diet would horrify and sicken the author, but I found his book helpful anyway.  I'm competitive and I want to run to win, (but I kinda also really suck but am a great artist...you know genetic lottery passed on me being super skinny runner, but anywho...)  If you are a runner of any sort and like to run with purpose and drive this is a good read.  He gets to the point and has a good training plan.
