Written by a biologist with a passion for running and coaching, this book strips away fads, folklore, and one‑size‑fits‑all advice. Instead, it offers clear, concise explanations of how the body actually works when you run. Blending physiology, practical coaching wisdom, and wry humor, A Guide to Running and Training empowers runners, not by telling them what to do, but by teaching them how to observe their own bodies, interpret signals, and make educated choices. It's a guide for beginners, a reference for veterans, and a companion for anyone who wants to run smarter, safer, and longer.
