About this title

Review:

"Just Starting Out? Not So Fast. Running might seem a remote possibility for those who haven't exercised since high school. But Runner's World: Complete Book of Beginning Running, which will be published in March, explains how the uninitiated can get started on a 24-week walking and running program. Extremely brief runs to start, said the author, Amby Burfoot, executive editor of Runner's World, a magazine based in Pennsylvania." --Washington Post
