New York Running Guide 简介：

New York has always been a city of possibilities. And for runners searching for great routes to explore, this is definitely the case. However, because New York is so large, it's tough to know where to begin.

Now, with New York Running Guide, finding great places to run in the Big Apple is easy. Both city residents and visitors will find all the information they need to enjoy 44 of the best routes throughout New York's five boroughs, Long Island, and New Jersey. Eight of the routes in the book are profiles of the best races in the New York City area.

For each running route included, the book provides:

- an introduction explaining why the route was selected;
- a detailed map showing roads and trails to follow on the route;
- an icon key that shows route distance, scenery, terrain, hill ratings, and available facilities;
- access information that tells how to get to the starting point; and
- course information that describes every turn of the run.

With New York Running Guide, tourists who previously may have confined their running to quick jaunts through Central Park can now confidently step out and experience scenic and challenging runs throughout the city. The hundreds of thousands of runners who reside in the city can use the book to expand their running to new and invigorating routes in areas of New York.

Experience the best of New York City in your running shoes. This guide provides 44 proven routes that are as diverse and unique as the city itself.

New York Running Guide 读者评论：

I concentrated on the Queens section the most and I would like to highlight the inconsistencies I found as well as the mistakes. First, the mileage for Forest Park states it is 3.75 miles, but when you read the description it doesn't add up. They say the first half is .75 and the second half is 2.5 miles. In addition the course isn't totally clear when I ran the first half I came upon what appeared to be a closed road, it was the only way I could run that would bring me back to the main road, so I believe I went the right way. Then I would like to write about Flushing Meadows Park. Try running this course...if you can, there is alot of construction that has changed the second half of this run and I think the authors weren't aware of this. Finally the map of the New York City Marathon in wrong, they put the Bronx where Queens should be. If these major mistakes exist in just the sections of the book I have read, I believe there may be more. I purchased this book because I couldn't find an earlier version of the same book, which I felt was very well done. It contained long runs through the entire borough and I thought this was a great feature. I hope the authors will reissue this book with the corrections and better diagrams of the runs.

 

I found this book to be very poorly put together. There were countless mistakes about mileage, and the character of the running routes. The maps were terrible, giving no specific details (in fact they re-printed the same terrible map of Central Park about 4 times in 10 pages.) More importantly, I felt that the authors may have never even run the routes they are trying to describe. Although it is obvious that they have a talent for writing, this book is not helpful to runners, and seems to be hastily thrown together in an attempt to sell copies and rip people off.
