About the Author

Bob Cooper is a Bay Area native who started running in 1969. His first national magazine article was published in Runner's World four years later, and his articles on running and other fitness sports have been appearing ever since. Magazines that have published features by Bob include American Health, Fitness, Forbes FYI, Condé Nast Sports for Women, Healthy Kids, Longevity, Men's Fitness, Men's Health, Men's Journal, Runner's World, Shape, Triathlete, and Women's Sports and Fitness.

Bob was the executive editor of Running Times from 1990 to 1992 before he became a full-time freelance writer. He has published one previous book, The Valley At Your Feet: 50 Walking, Running and Racing Courses in the Sacramento Valley.

Bob's running achievements are also substantial. He is probably the only person to have participated in relay runs from the Pacific to the Atlantic (1973) and from Mexico to Canada (1983). His 50-mile time of 5 hours and 42 minutes ranked seventh in the United States in 1977, and he has run seven sub-2:30 marathons.

Top finishes include the Silver State Marathon (1st), Tucson Marathon (2nd), American River 50-Mile (2nd), San Francisco Marathon (3rd), and National 50-Mile Championships (4th). Since turning 40 in 1994, Bob has won numerous masters titles at Bay Area road races.

Bob lives in San Anselmo (Marin County) with his wife, Lisa, and two children, Brendan and Kira.

《San Francisco Running Guide》读者评论：

It would have been useful to know there are a limited number of runs actually in San Francisco listed in this guide. While all the running trails listed are in the Bay Area, many of them are in the East Bay and South Bay, so the title is misleading. Otherwise, the maps and trail descriptions are good and the book is very useful.

If you're looking for some insightful running suggestions in SF, avoid this book. [In my opinion anyone] could have written this book from 3,000 miles away by reading tourist brochures and looking at maps. The suggested routes are obvious, uninspired suggestions that anybody who is moderately interested in running in or around SF ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT. A huge portion of the book is taken up by content on races... I presume this was done to give it some bulk.
This book did absolutely nothing for my SF running intelligence.
