An honest and functional proposal within the genre of running guides. Its main value lies in the authenticity of the author's voice, who speaks from amateur experience and not from sports elite, making it especially relatable and applicable to the majority of the public. The enjoyable tone and practical structure make it easy to use as a daily reference book. Recommended for those looking for a realistic and unpretentious approach to starting or advancing in running.
