The Runner's World Big Book of Running for Beginners by Jennifer Van Allen

Every day, people are reaching their get-up-or-give-up moments and resolving to change. And they're realizing that running is the simplest, cheapest, and most effective way to lose weight, gain confidence, and relieve stress. For newcomers, the obstacles are fierce. There are fears of pain and embarrassment. There are schedules jam-packed with stressful jobs, long commutes, endless meetings, and sticky-fingered toddlers.

The Runner's World Big Book of Running for Beginners provides all the information neophytes need to take their first steps, as well as inspiration for staying motivated. The book presents readers with tips for smart nutrition and injury prevention that enable beginning runners to achieve gradual progress (by gearing up for a 30-minute run, a 5-K, or even a 5-miler). Above all, it shows newbies just how fun and rewarding the sport can be, thanks to the help of several real runner testimonials.

Bart Yasso is Runner's World's Chief Running Officer and one of the sport's most well-known individuals. Bart is the public face of Runner's World at races around the United States and internationally, and is affectionately known as the Mayor of Running. Since 1987, Bart has been with Runner's World, where he established a race sponsorship scheme that has connected the company with thousands of races and millions of runners. Bart is also recognized for inventing the Yasso 800s, a marathon-predictor workout utilized by thousands of runners. My Life on the Run, his memoir, is always a best seller at the Runner's World booth (especially when Bart is there to sign copies!).

He's also a contributor to the Runner's World Big Book of Marathon and Half Marathon Training, as well as the Runner's World Big Book of Running for Beginners. Bart has been honored by the Running USA Hall of Champions as one of the sport's icons.
