I am not sure what the intended audience for this book is and that was my biggest problem with the book. If you are a seasoned runner, there are some funny bits and cheesy drawings that are funny. But these and counterbalanced by bits that just aren't funny and in some cases, I believe, incorrect information. So, if you aren't a seasoned runner and read this book as an introduction to reading, you may be lead a bit astray and, at the same time, miss some of the humor. Overall, this book was like having a long conversation about running with a sarcastic friend where their attempt to be funny starts to become a little too much.
