I started running three years ago and I was sporadic at best. So when I picked this up (from my boss' pile of book give-aways) it reminded me of a lot of helpful steps and etiquettes to observe from the moment you decide to run until when you crossed the finish line. It is definitely not a running bible and it lacked extensive information but for a noob, it would suffice. It attempted to inject humor which worked most of the time --- at least for me. NO Stars. The worst book I've read all year. Remy and his team's futile attempt at humor fail, page after page, bad joke after bad joke.I only finished this book because a) there were 2 more hours left on my flight and I'd already finished my other book, and b) I always hope I can learn something. What I learned:1. Mark Remy is a terrible writer.2. I was right to cancel my Runner's World subscription 2 years ago.3. I should warn all of my friends - DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!
Has several helpful tips, but not a book for the beginning runner. Humor level was uneven.

Some decent advice, if really basic.Most of the humor falls flat, but it was quick read.
