A sensible, balanced, low-stress approach to running In ALBERTO SALAZAR’S GUIDE TO RUNNING, the three-time New York City marathon winner and former marathon world-record-holder draws on the latest research to show you that a twenty-minute, two-to three-mile run can be just as beneficial as a longer, harder run. He offers a complete year-long program designed to build beginning runners’ weekly distance to a relatively short fifteen to twenty miles. Salazar also points out the many advantages of helping your running program with aerobic and strength-building activities. Interspersed throughout the book you’ll find fascinating and instructive anecdotal sidebars in which Salazar shares the hard-won lessons he’s learned about running, fitness, avoiding injuries, and more. There’s also valuable advice for more experienced runners on trail running, winter training, cross training, and increasing distance.
