Question for the running community:
Are there any good books for beginner runners? I don't want to build a training regime for a marathon or anything. I just want to learn how to breathe and how to avoid injury and if it's worth getting a new pair of shoes. That kind of low level stuff.
I can find a lot of inspirational type books of men who ran alone through Africa and found themselves along the way, but that's not the vibe I'm looking for.
To be clear: I AM running. This isn't a "I'm going to read about it and then maybe try it later" situation.
It's a thing I already do.
But in some ways it doesn't feel right. Or maybe it is right and it is supposed to feel like this. I don't know.
I was just looking for beginner type advice beyond "don't bother, just go running" because if I keep doing this and it continues to hurt I'm just going to stop doing it.
