Great Sense of Humor

This book is an excellent book for any type of runner. The book has a great sense of humor. Every time I head out for a run I always connect to one of the author's rule. The book is an easy read and would provide for a great gift. Although the book doesn't really speak about techniques I would still recommend this book. The Runner's Rule Book is a witty yet practical guide to all the unspoken rules of running. The only con is I wish it was longer than 166 pages it was an entertaining read. Lastly, he just makes you feel good about being a runner.

great read!

very funny, yet occasionally insightful! quick, easy read, but i can see myself picking it up every few months and flipping through it again.

Funny and true!

All those things you wonder about...should I, how do I, what if I do? They are in here; you will laugh out loud!

Good quick read that all level of runners will enjoy

This book was a quick read. It was very entertaining and it help answer some of those questions you have about those "unwritten rules" of running. Runners will appreciate the "rules" and will laugh at seeing themselves in some of the "violations."

Very funny and useful book

This book is full of humorous commentary as well as very practical information about running. I laughed out loud and nodded my head in agreement many times while reading it. I know I'll definitely pull it off my shelf again when I'm looking for information or need a good laugh. It's a great gift idea for runners, whether they're just getting started or have been running for years.
