Rating: 5 out of 5

This book covers the advantages of running, the food and drink requirements of the body while in training for running and warnings against overdoing it and injuring yourself. It has a simple training schedule that even someone over 60 like me can keep to. Mr. Pal has us building up to running the 5 kilometres in 20 minutes. This is 15 kilometers an hour which is a fairly modest speed for any moderately fit adult. This speed also has the advantage for Australians that it is 2 kilometres an hour faster than a Tasmanian Devil can run (even over a short distance) so you should be safe from Devil attack while you are running.
