Few writers have provided more thoughtful insight on running than Running 101 author Joe Henderson. A respected voice on the subject since the 1960s, he now distills the wisdom of his years into 101 practical lessons that are ideal for beginning and intermediate runners looking for new ways to improve and enjoy the sport. 
Henderson's wealth of experience is evident on every page as he covers the nuts-and-bolts basics of the sport he knows as few others do. Throughout the book's 15 informative and entertaining chapters, he teaches you how to
- set and meet realistic goals, - plan your training and racing season, - evaluate and track your progress, - choose appropriate shoes and running gear, - avoid and recover from injury, - eat for training and racing, - return after time off, - run faster and longer, - follow a training program for the 5K to marathon, and - recover smarter and faster from hard training and racing.
Whether you're lacing up your running shoes for the first time, coming back after an injury, or training to run a longer distance than ever before, the fundamentals in Running 101 make it the one course you won't want to miss.

Once you commit to running a marathon, you need to start preparing for it—mentally and physically. Marathon Training presents three separate 100-day training programs to maximize your efforts: 
-If you can comfortably run six miles and have finished an organized race in the past, the Cruiser program enhances your chances of finishing your first marathon. 
-After you've cruised your first marathon, you'll want to set your personal record (PR) by using the Pacer program. You'll run the entire distance of the race at your own pace and set goals for future finishes. 
-Whether you want to beat your own PR or someone else's, the rigorous trainingschedule in the Racer program will help you achieve that goal. A prolific writer, coach, and runner, author Joe Henderson has designed daily log pages to help you monitor all the variables that affect training, including weather and course conditions; training effectiveness; mental and physical benchmarks; and time, distance, and pace goals. Each day, as you fill out your log page, Henderson's sage advice and “thought for the day” will give you a greater understanding of, and a deeper commitment to, your goal of running a marathon. 
Use Marathon Training as you would a personal coach: to motivate, inform, and inspire you through 91 days of marathon training and 9 days of post-race recovery.
