The Complete Book of Running

This book definitely needs to go through a reprint, because it's a fantastic (and humorous) definitive book about running. While some of the material in the book is outdated, the majority of it is interesting and applicable. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a passion for running, or who wants to understand why people run recreationally.

The quality of this book is evident from how well it's aged. Written in late 1970s, much of it is still very relevant today.
