Runner's World Complete Book of Beginning Running

Burfoot, a big name in the running field because of his work as editor-at-large of Runner's World magazine, put together an epic book of beginning running. While none of the material is different from what you would find scattered around the RW Web site or on various running blogs, it's nicely put together in an easily accessible format. The tips and motivations in this book are great, and I really appreciated the section on injury prevention.

For anyone who is starting to run or is interested in running—the right way, without overextending yourself and your capabilities—this is a fantastic book.
