"Listen to those millions of women runners. Listen to their quiet breaths as they talk in predawn pairs, before the rest of the family wakes-- the lessons and questions they share to the rhythm of steady footsteps. 'I never thought I could...' 'I feel so much stronger...' 'I'm ready to take on a new challenge...' Women develop a special sorority on the roads. This bond is an understanding based on acceptance, an appreciation of how far they have come, a knowing wink that says how much is yet to be gained. And so they talk and share and grow-- and run. Singly and in groups, swiftly and slowly, they run." --Dagny Scott Choose the best clothes and accessories * Lose weight permanently * Train for any race, from a 5-K to a marathon * Run through Menopause * Be safe wherever you run * Deal with self-consciousness and body image * Prevent and treat injuries * Run during pregnancy * Eat for maximum energy… (more)

There were a lot of chapters that will apply more once I get out of the raw beginner phase, but that's a plus. I feel like this book will grow with me as a runner. (

I feel I already knew most of the info. Seemed aimed at very beginers. (

Not just for women. This guide provides great advice for all runner levels. It is especially useful for people trying to get back into running, beginners, and not-too-fiercely-competitive runners. One chapter is devoted to pregnant runners and one to women and body image, but the training schedule is not gender-specific. She provides a nice, gradual, 8-week transition into running for beginners and returners that is chock full of the basics of good running sense. Provides some decent diagrams on stretching, but personally I prefer the active isolated stretching techniques of Jim and Phil Wharton. (
