    An excellent book that is addressed to all runners regardless of their level. Personally, I read it and it helped me a lot in my first steps. One can read it all at once, like a literary book, or read each chapter separately depending on their goal. A book that every runner should have in their library!

    It is definitely not one of those things you read and then forget in the library. Personally, it has helped me a lot because I don't need to constantly search for information from various sources (internet), the accuracy of which is not always guaranteed. So far, I don't remember having any question that it didn't answer for me. I highly recommend it.

    In simple words, it is the bible for anyone who wants to engage in running and sports in general!!!! It is suitable for beginners as well as elite runners- athletes. Easy to read, it answers all the questions. It also includes a variety of programs from 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, marathon, and even ultra. Finally, personally it helped me a lot in injury prevention as it presents a multitude of exercises - instructions for strengthening the muscular system and relieving tired muscles from exercise (I know several people who are involved in various sports such as football who have bought it for strengthening exercises and not only). It is a comprehensive "tool" that should accompany every amateur and not just athletes.

    BOOK - STATION for those who love running at any level and wherever they are. This book is a "coach" that we can refer to at any time, with detailed programs that aim to improve, enjoy, and above all, stay healthy in whatever running goal we set.

    I recently received this specific book. I flipped through it and focused on many points, while many of my questions were answered. Detailed descriptions for workouts, nutrition, strengthening, detailed programs for all distances, and charts with training and race paces. It will definitely help from beginners to experienced runners. Congratulations on the excellent work. Impressed. I recommend it.

    Starting my involvement with running, I was advised to buy this specific book to help me.... Knowing some people who are involved in the subject and the creator of the book, I proceeded with the purchase and upon receiving it, I was IMPRESSED.... It explains EVERYTHING and leaves you with very few or no questions at all... Many congratulations because in the times we live in, we need to take care of our health and with the restrictions imposed on us, we do not have the opportunity for organized training.. Your book gives you the opportunity to set your own goals without any commitments other than to yourself... and again CONGRATULATIONS to the creator of the book...

    Excellent book has become my best companion during the hours I am not training. Its information is inexhaustible, no matter how many times I read it, I always find something that I may have overlooked the previous time. Every time feels like reading it for the first time. Congratulations!

    I bought this particular book even though I considered the cost high. I can confidently tell you that it is worth it in the end, as it is objectively an expensive edition in terms of the quality of the paper and the pages it has, but on the other hand, it is a book that analyzes many things in depth. I am happy that I have already read it once and now I am reading it again.
