 Good encouragement for women runners! January 16, 2010
L. Cornish (Memphis, TN USA)
I became a runner later in life and started running because it is inexpensive and convenient. I have been an intermediate runner for the last 4 years and have completed 2 half-marathons. Last year I hit a rut and lost my motivation to run. I enjoy the feeling of running consistently and needed something to help me get back into running again. This book provides a good background on women and running, and has helped me understand that we all go through our peaks and valleys with our training. The chapters that cover walking to jogging and jogging to running has reminded me of the fundamentals that I need to get back into a consistent running schedule.

Russell J. Meskell (Ramona, CA)
This was a gift for my daughter. She read this and another book on women's running I gave her, in two days. She says both were excellent and both quite different. She loved both and rates this book very, highly for the experienced runner, which she is, as well as for serious beginers. She says this book will go on her shelf as a valued reference.
 A lot of knowledge packed into one easy-to-read book. January 5, 2010
Kira Lech (Round Lake, IL)
This book is ideal for beginning runners. It's broken up into easy-to-read sections, allowing you to pick though it at your own pace. There are chapters on everything from the history of women's running, to diet, stretching and training schedules for every length of race, at every level. There are even sections that break down how running will affect you at different ages, as well as when you are pregnant. Overall, a fun and informative book - I would definitely recommend it. Anyone who likes this, but is looking for something a little more light-hearted should try The Nonrunner's Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training.
great for all runners November 1, 2009
Suzanne Orlopp
I was looking for a book written about running specially for women. I am just starting to pick up running and I wanted to be aware of anything as a woman I should look out for. This book reviews everything from training schedules, to food, to even what you should wear. I think as I grow in my training needs with book will also be a handy reference.
Great book with overall understanding of running tailored to women! September 25, 2009
MichiganMom (Canton, MI)
I have been running for just over a year and am a "newbie" in many ways. I have read a few other books on running but liked this one because it is tailored to female runners. With an overview of running, from nutrition to running injury free, I have found this book to be an asset.
