No Need for Speed : A Beginner’s Guide to the World of Running

John Bingham, ‘the patron saint of the back of the pack’, shares the wisdom that took him from couch potato to columnist for Runner’s World magazine. No Need for Speed explores both the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of running. With information both practical (how to find the right running shoes for you; when to enter a race; what to eat before a run) and inspirational (focus on where you are instead of where you want to be; accept the body you have; look for the beauty of realistic goals), Bingham extends a trustworthy hand to beginners and veterans alike.
