R is for Running Paperback – September 24, 2011

This book is a nice and quick read full of a lot of little "truths" about running. Each chapter is like reading the message from a fortune cookie.

But not a book to help you be a better runner. For free I enjoyed the funny rhymes, but had I been looking for a book to help me run better this is not that book.Unfortunately, as other reviewers I did not read the description before 'buying' it for free. It is not a book on running. That said, it is cute and gave me a couple of chuckles.

Maybe would have been better but the kindle version I got didn't load any of the pictures. Cute rhymes but I sure the pictures would have added something more.

This book kept me in a positive mindset without overpowering me with lots of technique. I'm ready to start jogging right now.

Its okay. But made for kids I think. As its pretty short..but free so guess can't complain. Thanks for the book

meh

I'm not a runner myself but was curious from the title. Each page features a letter of the alphabet, a cute little rhyme about a runner's life starting with corresponding letter and photos that got the special pencil drawing filter slapped on them. Nice effect on some of the pics, others came out a little odd looking. But I could see this being a nice gift, maybe part of a gift basket, for any runners or personal trainers you know.

Funny unless you know nothing about running. After all, not everyone knows what an 880 is.As for other reviewers . . . the block letter R and the word "primer" should have been a clue even if you didn't pay attention to how short the book is. Yes the title would work for an instructional manual but there is no reason to blame the book (1 star) just because you didn't notice what type of book you were "buying".

Not worth the time and effort to read. Bad purchase on my part.

This book is a light hearted attempt to provide definitions for each English alphabet. Doesn't provide any useful information about running.

Good
