Why I recommend Clair Kowalchik's "Running for Women"

I'm a male and not really a "runner"

I only started running at Xmas time 2018, so that's about 15 months ago. I'm probably not what runners call a runner. I run 5km twice a week to supplement my gym exercise program.

And although I've perused many articles online, I've never read a running book.

So what possessed me to buy Running for Women

I'm a curious person. Running For Women popped up as a suggestion in my Thriftbooks app (because of the many other exercise and fitness books I've bought).

I thought to myself, why not learn more about running, and also from a woman's perspective to see what differences are important to know (and might give me extra knowledge to help others).

I'm glad that I did. It's a very practical book. I notice on Goodreads it only has 4-stars, but I gave it 5-stars.

Here's a summary of things I think it covered really well.
