I read this book out of curiosity about how I should have gone about losing weight through running.  I started running nearly a year ago to lose weight and have reached a point where I can say that it was successful and sustainable.  While I did not have the benefit of this book initially, what I discovered while reading it is that the author recommends the same approaches which I used, or learned to use the hard way by trial and error.  So I can say, first hand, that they are effective.This book is a short concise overview of running to lose weight.  Some of the key points covered are starting out slowly, avoiding injury, using proper equipment and choosing the most effective distance and intervals for weight loss.  The book is a great primer to get one started on a sustainable approach to long term fitness, but if you adopt running, you will eventually want to do additional reading on the subject beyond this title.
