    《The Little Red Book of Running》书籍简介:

    Scott Douglas offers the advice he’s gleaned from three decades of running, from twenty years as a running writer, and from the deep connections he’s made with top runners and coaches around the country and around the world. The 250 tips offered here are the next best thing to having a personal coach or an experienced running partner. Douglas includes tips for increasing your daily, weekly, and yearly mileage; advice on increasing your speed and racing faster; useful knowledge on how to stay injury-free and be a healthy runner; and much more.

    The range of tips means there’s something for any runner—someone looking to start running to get in shape, a competitive high school or college runner, an athlete looking to move into running, or an experienced runner looking to improve his or her time in an up- coming marathon. You have the questions: What running apparel is best? What kind of gear do you need to run in the rain or snow? How do you find time in a busy schedule to run? How can you set and achieve meaningful goals? Douglas has the answers.

    In a hardcover edition handsome enough to give as a gift, The Little Red Book of Running is more than a handbook—it’s a runner’s new best friend.

    《The Little Red Book of Running》Review

    "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

    I love running, but I tend to do it in a vacuum. I don't run with anyone, and I don't pay much attention to form, or running better, or why I should even worry about those things. Well, I didn't pay attention to form or running better until I read this book. Scott Douglas will convince you to run, and to run better, and to run well, and he does it all in a quick and fun read. So often I feel like running writing has a slightly condescending tone, like if you don't know what all the running terminology is, then you must not really be a runner. Thank you, Scott Douglas, for defining all those running terms without ever talking down to the reader, and for letting me know why I need to know them. If you're a new runner, Scott will tell you everything you need to know to get started. If you're a seasoned runner, Scott will make you even better.

    I read this one in one sitting. Very concise writing style, full of practical information, funny, well-structured.
    I think it fits to people doing easy running, up to the very serious amateur. I liked that the facts presented were not coming from some external sources but were experienced 1st hand by the author. Definitely worth your time.
    Favorite quote: In the first half of the race, don't be an idiot, in the second half, don't be a wimp.

    I am a newbie runner. I have been wanting to be a runner my entire life, but every time I tried I broke down. Turns out, my form was disastrous. Fixing the form suddenly made it possible for me to run comfortably on a regular basis. So, I started reading up on running and this book came across my path at the right time. What I like about this book is that the author makes training for running an organized thought-out process. Even though much of the book is beyond what I will probably ever need to worry about, the tidbits in this book have positively changed my approach to becoming a runner.
