Editorial Reviews 'Richard Holt and Chris Hall bring over 50 years of running experience and coaching to their book, 'A Common Sense Beginner's Guide to Running'. And it shows. The book fits a niche in the instructional running book market as it is aimed at the newbie rather than the more experienced runner. It's designed to take the budding runner through all the steps needed to make them a runner. These steps include equipment and shoe choice, whether to compete and if so what's available, running technique, types of running workouts and relevant strength training, how to avoid injury, how to progress training and how to fuel your running. A Common Sense Beginner's Guide to Running is a very extensive book for its target audience and is written in a clear, concise and non-overly technical style. There are illustrations and photos to assist understanding. All-in-all this book will be the 'friend' that supports the fledgling runner on their path to becoming a runner.' John Shepherd, editor of ultra-FIT magazine and the author of seven books on sports and fitness and coach to international athletes. 'As an international athlete, I know the importance of approaching my training in the correct way. This book provides the beginner runner with all they need to do this and the more experienced runner a checklist; thus those of all abilities can be sure that they have all they need in place to get the most out of our fabulous sport. Richard and Chris bring their expertise as coaches and experience as accomplished runners to the reader on every page.'
