Book Reviews of Galloway's 5K And 10K Running
Book Review: Good Introduction
Summary: 3 Stars
I suppose this is a good introduction for someone preparing for their first 5K/10K. I am by no means an experienced runner but have run a few 5Ks and I found most of the advice in this book to be pretty elementary. Some of the advice I had never heard before, such as taking regular walking breaks in order to avoid fatigue and keep running further. I don't think I'll be picking that up, but I agree someone just getting in shape should focus on the length of the workout rather than how fast you completed it. Not being afraid or embarrassed to take walk breaks if you need them. But most of the book is pretty basic.
Another piece of advice I took away from this book was not to be afraid of Coffee. I run when I get off of work, and sometimes I can really be dragging and not have very good workouts. He suggests having a little coffee before a workout to get you going. After I tried it, I saw a lot of improvement in those workouts.
Overall this book may be a five star book for a beginner, but for me it was only three.
