The Bible for Long Distance Runners

Even though this book is a few years old, the information hasn't been supplanted, simply because the human body is the same as it was ten years ago, as it was a thousand years ago.I learned a lot about training and running from this book. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about running or about training runners.
