women than ever are discovering the unique benefits of
running -- for
stress relief, weight management, endurance, and
self-esteem. Women's
bodies are not the same as men's, and though we can
train just as hard and
with the same passion for excellence, we have certain
special concerns.
Finally, there is a comprehensive guide exclusively
for women who
experience the pure joy of running, or want to.
It's the simplest, fastest, most accessible way to
fitness and good health known to woman. You don't need a
partner, equipment, or even much time. Now, Claire
Kowalchik, former managing editor of Runner's World
magazine, answers every question about the
overwhelmingly popular activity that builds endurance,
melts fat, and even prevents illness. In this total
running book for women, you'll learn:
-How to get started and stay motivated
-What to eat for optimal nutrition
-How to run during pregnancy and after menopause
-Why running is the most effective form of
exercise
-How to prevent and treat injury
-What to wear -- from sports bras to running
shoes
-How to prepare for everything from a 5K to a
marathon
Authoritative and friendly, The Complete Book of
Running for Women is a sourcebook for both beginners
and long-time runners. Along with wisdom drawn from the
author's personal experience, you'll find advice from
the experts: coaches, exercise physiologists,
nutritionists, doctors, and other women runners.
Including question-and-answer sections and a complete
list of resources, The Complete Book of Running for
Women tells you everything you need to know to be
off and running toward better health and richer living.
