内容简介

Every so often a book comes along that not only transcends the sport it's about but also transforms it. Runners of all levels will find 'The Principles' inspirational, philosophical, and above all, practical. Short, evocative essays distill a lifetime of experience from one of the sport's greatest sages. Burfoot's road-tested advice will guide runners to improved performance, better health, fewer injuries, and more enjoyment. He shares his unique perspectives on how to begin running, special concerns of women runners, equipment, nutrition, training, weight loss, weather, preventing injury, racing, marathons, and the long stretch of road measured in a lifetime of running. His wisdom is summarized into key principles found at the end of each chapter for quick reference. Much more than a manual or how-to guide, this motivational volume will change the way runners think about running.
