RoadWarrior Oct 2014 2:08pm, 22 Oct 2014 3 posts	0 RoadWarrior Born To Run by Chris McDougall and Eat & Run By Scott Jurek are two easy to read running books that I have enjoyed reading. I am not into reading technical running books with in depth training plans.

tonyp2604 Feb 2015 2:27pm, 3 Feb 2015 111 posts	0 tonyp2604 I enjoyed Born To Run like so many others here. Also liked Ultramarathon Man by Dean Karnazes - a nice read. I recently got a more technical book that is from the biological angle, Anatomy for Runners: Unlocking Your Athletic Potential for Health, Speed by Jay Dichary which I have dipped in and out of and gets to the nitty gritty of the relationship between running and our bodies etc.
rhb Mar 2015 9:28am, 23 Mar 2015 692 posts	0 rhb Thinking of getting a copy of either Daniels or the Glovers book. Looks like latest edition of Glover is from 1999 is that right? Any magic website for checking editions etc? For someone concentrating on 5-10km which of the two might be more appropriate to those distances (as opposed to being Marathon heavy?).
EarlyRiser Mar 2015 9:37am, 23 Mar 2015 1,122 posts	0 EarlyRiser Amazon is probably as good as any to check editions. Glover wrote two that I'm aware of. A more general Runners Handbook and a 'Competitive Runner' Handbook. Lot of cross-over in content though. Daniels is more technical-speak, but there is a lot of good general advice in both. Either perfectly good for 5-10k distances. Have you seen the new Pfitzinger (and Latter) book -came out this year - Faster Road Racing. Similar format to the well-known P&D marathon book but this time focussed on 5k up to Half. Again, technical read with solid plans.
