    Runners World Complete Book of Womens Running: The Best Advice to Get Started, Stay Motivated, Lose Weight, Run Injury-Free, Be Safe, and Train for Any Distance (Runners World Complete Books) by Dagny Scott - Presentation Transcript

    1. Runners World Complete Book of Womens Running: The Best Advice to Get Started, Stay Motivated, Lose Weight, Run Injury-Free, Be Safe, and Train for Any Distance (Runners World Complete Books) by Dagny Scott Great Book For Everyone! Over the last 4 years, 75% of the new subscribers to Runners World magazine, the countrys largest running magazine, have been women. The 1998 San Diego Rock n Roll Marathon was the first marathon where more women participated than men. 10 million women across the country identify themselves as regular runners. These statistics are evidence of a
    2. major boom in the popularity of running-a boom fueled by women runners. In response, Dagny Scott teamed up with the experts at Runners World magazine to create a guide specifically aimed at this large and growing segment of the running world. More than one hundred experts were interviewed on the unique problems and challenges women face when running, including clothing, injuries common to women, running during pregnancy and menopause, safety, and nutrition. With clear photographs, running sidebars, and testimonials from women runners of all ages and abilities, the Runners World Complete Book of Womens Running provides the most up-to-date, practical advice for women runners of all levels. Personal Review: Runners World Complete Book of Womens Running: The Best Advice to Get Started, Stay Motivated, Lose Weight, Run Injury-Free, Be Safe, and Train for Any Distance (Runners World Complete Books) by Dagny Scott I could not decide between this book and the similarly-titled one by Claire Kowalski so I actually went to the bookstore and spent some time flipping through them both. They both seem very good and well-informed, but the Kowalski book is definitely geared more toward beginners (in tone, mostly, but also in content). I am looking to move from beginner to intermediate level running and found that this book fit my needs much better. This one I think is also good for beginners, but the Kowalski book has more of a motivational focus and this one concentrates more on striving for excellence in your running (racing, improving times, etc). It is really a book that can take you from the absolute, never jogged-before state to a marathon. The author's style is very accessible and easy to read, too. I read it cover to cover on a long flight and enjoyed it all the way through.
