Since it was first published in 1999, The Beginning Runner's Handbook has helped more than 35,000 participants at community clinics across Canada - and thousands more runners around the world - realize their goal of running 10k. The easy-to-use, practical guide is completely updated in this fourth edition from Greystone Books. It now includes a revised RunWalk program that gives runners a choice between running 10k or running and walking the distance, depending on their individual goals and fitness.
For a chance to win a copy of the book tell us who holds the women's world track record for 10,000 metres. Email your entry to Running Contest at thisweekcontest@nsnews. com.
