I bought this book right after I realised I had a 5k on the horizon and my own training was floundering. The advice really helped me get my house in order, from what footwear I should have been using, to what level of training I should  have been doing.  Everything from hydration, rep-race preparation and various advice on what to do in different weather conditions. The writer is an experienced runner and doctor, and offers straightforward advice that gives concise and clear advice to anyone wishing to complete this kind of challenge.I felt the plan laid out in this book was realistic and it gave me confidence. This book was the ideal companion to help me complete my first 5k. Recommended.
