Recommend a good running book?

I'm looking for a good book on running technique...

I'm a beginner, now running 5k @ 10 minutes per. Want some help and a continuing reference as I
get better.

Not sure what you mean by "technique".

"The competitive runners handbook", Bob Glover is a good book that covers most aspects of running.

Run Fast and How to Train by Hal Higdon would be good books to progress with. If you can't find them
in a bookstore check at www.halhigdon.com

PS..Yes, that was me working in Hal's booth at Chicago this fall so no, I'm not totally unbiased,
but check them out for yourself.

This advice from a TREADMILL JOGGER??? Ha! There is no technique involved in TREADMILL JOGGING.

Dont recommend it for a beginner. Its more enclopediac. "Pier-14" <[email hidden]>

I was on a cruise ship last week, and could not use the outdoor track due to 50 knot wind. The
exposed deck was just not safe. So, I decided to try the treadmill.

I learned that running on a treadmill can be quite challenging when it is moving around under you.
Just staying on the thing was hard work, never mind the speed. (For that matter, just walking on
that ship, in that weather, felt like a wobble board workout.)

I've been putting together a list of some of my favortites. The list isn't aimed at the beginning
runner, but they're great for exactly what you said - reference as you get better.

how about looking at the hal higdon website too. halhigdon.comindex.htmlOpen ↗

wouldn't be too early to think about whether you are running for fitness/weight control or
to prepare to race. most advice is directed to future racers. some of that advice might be
inappropriate for someone only intending to be as healthy as they can be. for instance
speed training.

also look at the web sites for all the running magazines. you'll find articles and a million links.

and 10 minutes per ... ummm.... what? mile is assumed. ...thehick
