Running Until You're 100 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read this book with high hopes. It is a good and effective introduction to distance running, but much of the book appears to be generic material that would apply to anyone who is just starting a running program. I expected much more age-specific commentary on the unique needs and demands of runners in their 40s, 50s, 60s, etc. Although there was a little bit of this, the impression I got was that much of the book consisted of "filler" and generic introductory material to running.
Beyond the advice that more "mature" runners take it easy, integrate walking into their workouts and run on alternate days -- sound advice all-- there is not a whole lot of advice that applies uniquely to older runners. This is not a bad book, but I did not believe that the glossy content fully delivered on the promise implied in its title.
