It will make you want to run an ultra! Or, it may make you want to run barefoot. Either way, it's a good read.<br /><br />Hal Higdon has quite a few books but are hit and miss to me. I like his book Marathon but I got another and it was just okay. I think it was called Smart Running.<br /><br />One book that has a lot of good tips that I enjoy is The Competitive Runner's Handbook by Bob Glover. It's pretty technical but it has a lot of great information, even for non-competitive runners like myself. I refer to that book a lot.L.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932409909043501781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829869205188084982.post-12733616676990451252011-03-05T19:01:29.525-05:002011-03-05T19:01:29.525-05:00By the way, see my blog.

One of my favorite books is "A race like no other". Its the story of the NYC marathon. Ever since I read that I want to run NYC. It's #1 on my list of marathon's out of state.Detroit Runner(Jeff)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03340721120260257973noreply@blogger.com
