Ratings and reviews

Very Good Advice. I am 66 soon to be 67 and ran most of my life,5,000m up to the marathon running in the low 2:20's for 26.2 miles some 40 plus years ago. Now dealing with an aging body including bulging discs I find the information in this book invaluable, so I will apply as much of it as I can. Everything is explained very well and analogies are given. Thank You John Mills

Excellently written for us lay people. It's a roadmap to better running and overall health and why you feel the way to do, and how to fix it! Bravo
