Editorial Reviews

So You Want to Start Running…Again is a quick easy read that’s encouraging and basic to help anyone get started running or get started back running. I found it to be informative, but very superficial. But then again, this is just about getting started. I think this book is great for inspiring someone on the cusp on starting to run again. I read it in less than an hour and can see referring to it from time-to-time.

My Reading Room - Crystal fulcher

I am not a runner, and never have been. However, my husband has been a runner off and on throughout our marriage. Reading this book Jeff Stevenson reminds me of my own husband. Mr. Stevenson gives sound advice, to make sure you first see your doctor before starting any type of running. I liked how honest and frank Mr. Stevenson was in this book about the hard work, and how to log distance, eat healthy, set goals, warm ups and cool downs, and there was also a chapter on not becoming discouraged.

Pages I Turn - SAndie Ramos

Jeff takes us through some of his tried and true suggestions from personal experience. He went from being a non-runner to getting back into it with some hints and ideas he found online and from other people. He has taken his experience and the things he has learned and put them into a comprehensive booklet to encourage new runners. At age 39 I am in the need of some exercise, and Jeff is showing in this booklet that it is possible to get back out there and run again.
