## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great information for everyone from beginners to experienced runners.
*by J***W on May 20, 2013*

Six years ago, I had to start running due to my employment. I never ran "seriously" prior to that, aside from in the playground as a child and teenager when I played pick-up basketball. After several months my employment no longer required that I run, and although I made great strides (no pun intended!) I stopped running. I started out unable to complete a one-mile run, and ended up finishing five-mile runs.Recently I quit smoking, and decided to replace it with something healthy and active, so I chose running. I enjoyed running when I had to run, and I bought Ryan Robert's book. I wish I had this information when I ran six years ago! While it can be as simple as to just go outside and start running, there are many things that can make the "sport" so much healthier and safe for us. Mr. Robert's book tells us those things and more in an easy-to-read format and plain language.From the benefits of epinephrine to tips on running in the elements, this book covers everything you should know if you're starting a running regimen. If you have some experience, as I did when I started reading The Ultimate Beginner's Running Guide, you will still find plenty of useful information. Pronation, the physical mechanics of your running stride and step, is covered in detail. Pronation is very important for several reasons, including preventing injuries and maximizing the physical rewards of running. Warming up and cooling down, staying motivated mentally, stretching properly, and so much more is discussed and presented in a way that is positive regardless of your current level of ability. The information is presented plainly and casually, making even the technical stuff simple to digest.My only complaint is centered around the several routines that are presented. The routines themselves are very helpful for beginners who might not otherwise know where to start. However, the routines are only based on running for lengths of time. I run for distance in my regimen, and after I'm comfortable with that distance, I then work on time for that distance. From there I choose another distance and repeat. I would have liked to see some routines based on distance as well as time.Overall, if you are not active and have decided to start running, or you are active and want to incorporate running into your routine, this book is for you. It's a light yet extremely informative read that I will recommend to anyone interested in running for fun, fitness, or both. Running has quickly become a special part of my life, and this book has given me a lot of direction to help me run safely and productively. If Ryan Robert writes another book about running, I will preorder it without hesitation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read for new runners
*by A***T on March 31, 2012*

I've written a review for this book on my blog, and you can read it here: [...]This book was so easy to read. I breezed through it and felt very motivated and encouraged when I was done. It's truly a book for beginners who need the confidence boost to get out there and get running.I think my only complaint is that Chapters 1 and 3 cover so much information and are so long. I wish they had been broken up into smaller pieces. It was sometimes hard to follow, because I didn't remember what section of the chapter I was in.I enjoy and plan to utilize his Visualizations at the end of Chapters 1, 2, and 3. This type of focused energy really helps me perform well.Introduction: Why Run?This introduction is super motivating. Everyone knows that running is a good cardio workout: that you will lose weight, lower your blood pressure, and have a healthier heart. The mental benefits are less concrete, but may be even more important: lowering stress and increasing confidence.Chapter 1: Getting Ready to RunThis chapter is very long, almost half the book (to 53% on the Kindle). There is a lot of information here. I mean, a lot. And it's good stuff. The tips on arm positions was especially useful to me.Chapter 2: Raising the Bar and Staying Motivated to RunIn this chapter, the main focus is adding hill workouts and intervals to your running routine to better your performance. The tips to stay motivated are all great ideas.Chapter 3: Nutrition, Hydration, Running in Adverse Conditions, and Common InjuriesAgain, this chapter is super long and feels like it should be a few different chapters. I always enjoy hearing different perspectives on nutrition and hydration during practice and races. And the tips on running in extreme heat, cold, and rain were right on. I tend to get shin splints, so it was good for me to read about icing and doing some cross training.Chapter 4: Running InspiredAfter starting the book off with a great positive message, giving load and loads of tips and expertise, this chapter gets back to motivation and encouragement. You can do it! And it'll be great!Chapter 5: Training SchedulesThese training schedules look good. I've already committed to a different training plan for my half-marathon in May, but one of these plans look like a great way to maintain fitness. I think it's better for me to be on a plan than to just go out and run. I need someone to tell me what to do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Running Primer
*by S***R on July 2, 2018*

I admit that this kindlebook of The Ultimate Beginners Running Guide The Key to Running Inspired by Ryan Robert caught my attention because of both my desire and intent to consistently run at least one mile and a half at least 5 times a week by September 1, 2018 andor sooner. I am getting pretty good at consistently walking at least 4 miles or more at least 4 to 5 times a week yet something within me knows that I can raise the bar higher for myself. Aiming to run at least a mile and a half to two miles of the overall 4 miles at least 4 to 5 times a week is something that I know is more than doable to start out with because I have actually easily run 3 miles in one day before. However, as it is in the middle of summer I’m rationally aware that it is important to avoid comparing my progression to another’s progression offline andor online and that I must be realistic to start out with hence the mile and a half to two mile target goal. Some of the helpful tidbits in this kindlebook that is The Ultimate Beginners Running Guide The Key To Running Inspired by Ryan Robert: the author’s example of a running log, practicing on a treadmill, some visualizations exercises for motivation, keeping yourself motivated towards running goal such as listening to one’s favorite music while running andor joining a running group whenever feasible, recording your progress and goals in a running journal, and more.
