The Little Red Book of Running (Little Red Books)
"Reading 'The Little Red Book of Running' is like having a casual conversation with a wise, gregarious coach--one of those conversations  where you sit back, put your feet up and pick his brain on everything from warm-up routines and race nutrition to motivation and even how to schedule all levels of training into real life. It is a veritable crash course in a life's worth of learned running knowledge, from the small tidbits on things like injury prevention and stretching to general philosophies on training and running in general." --Molly Huddle, American record-holder for 5 kilometers"Scott has achieved something of genuine value. There's much to be said for a single source that includes a little of everything you need to know about running. That's what 'The Little Red Book of Running' is--all 250 tips of it... It will be a long time before someone comes up with better racing advice than this." --Runner's World"In writing this nifty little book, Scott Douglas spells out a lot of what any runner should ever need to know. Written in what might be best considered a smartly organized stream of consciousness, the book contains 250 snippets of informed tips, sagely advice and downright good ideas culled from his 30-plus years of running and 20-plus years of writing about performance-oriented aspects of the sport . . . long runs, speed work, fartleks, hills and mileage to injuries, stretching, form, shoes and one-stepping. It's written in the easy-to-digest, here's-how-it's-done tone of a coach, running partner and veteran racer rolled into one. . . . It's an ideal bedside companion that will never collect dust."  -- --Running Times"If you are looking for inspiration for your next run, trying to solve a training or racing problem, or seeking some timeless running wisdom, 'The Little Red Book of Running' is a great resource."  ----how2runfast.com
