I am giving a book about running 5 stars.

Very funny. not dave barry, laugh-out-loud funny, but still funny.
it was somehow personally validating to hear the to hear that other "athletes" that suck at running but run anyway. i'm now motivated to run another marathon even though i swore i would never do that again.

Funny but maybe tries a little too hard.

A nice easy read about running. Very entertaining with his sense of humor.
Admittedly, I didn’t agree with everything that he said about running. However, I thought this would serve as a great introductory book for anyone interested in marathons, or running in general. He does a great job defining a lot of running terminology.
My major disagreement? Getting good socks really CAN make a difference. (Maybe that doesn’t matter... but I just wanted to put it out there. So there you go.)

Reading this book (especially the end) really made me want to run more.

Một cuốn sách khá thú vị về chạy bộ cho người mới bắt đầu chạy, mình cũng có chung niềm vui với tác giả là thực sự không thích việc chạy bộ, nhưng lại thích cảm giác khi hoàn thành nó :))

Entertaining Marathon experience with a spice of humour.
