Running book for non runners?
My parents are not runners, but I am becoming quite serious about it. I always try to tell them stuff about it and we all get frustrated when I'm talking about something they know nothing about. I want to get them a book that tells the basics of running for a non runner. Like what splits are, how long a 5k is. That kind of stuff. Anyone know of any books like this? Thanks!

There is a book you can probably get at your local library. Don't remember the title, but the author was James Fixx...The best info after reading the book would be to subscribe to RUNNERS WORLD. It's the unquestionable BIBLE on the subject of running. Learning metrics will make the distances easy to know. ...1 mile equals .62kilos,,,,,,5k equals 3.1 miles, 10k equals 6.2 miles,,yadda yadda yadda...

Partly approximately them however it is bought just a little of the whole thing, from nutrients to body structure to ultrarunning, however written like a unique. The Perfect Mile The festival to get the primary sub-four mile. Once a Runner Runner cult traditional. So inspiring. Training books: Run Faster by way of Brad Hudson (well for 5k-marathon) Daniels' Running Formula, by way of... Daniels (well for 1600+)
