Editorial Reviews

I really like the contents of Meghan Kita’s new book Runner’s World How To Make Yourself Poop and 999 Other Tips All Runners Should Know. Meghan was my editor at Runner’s World and very knowledgeable about all things running. The practical tips are presented with humor on subjects such as ‘6 Problems a Short Walk Break Can Solve’ and ‘4 Tactics to Help You Hate Hills Less.’ Reviewers state that this would be perfect for the coffee table or even better—next to your toilet.”—Jeff Galloway, U.S. Olympian, King of Run Walk Run®
