From time to time I read books that have nothing to do with my tastes, not rare books, but a peculiar reading in a fantasy and science fiction reader. I'm a runner, so when this sportsbook came to me, even though it was from 1978, I had to read it.
I did a little research on the author. He is an average American who took up running at an advanced age. When he saw the benefits it caused in his system he decided to write one of the best-selling books of his time about running.
De vez en cuando leo libros que no tienen nada que ver con mis gustos, no son libros raros, pero sí una lectura peculiar en un lector de fantasía y ciencia ficción. La verdad soy un runner, así que cuando llegó a mi este libro deportivo, aunque fuera del año 1978, tenía que leerlo.
Investigue un poco al autor. Es un estadounidense promedio que se dedicó a avanzada edad a incurrir en el running. Al ver los beneficios que causaba en su sistema decidió escribir uno de los libros más vendidos de sus tiempos sobre el running.
What is it about?
It is a very entertaining book dedicated in his time to introduce new people to running, without the cumbersome accidents or injuries that one developed. The book focuses on several topics, among them: the benefits of running, the appropriate clothing for each climate, and, above all, running in each of the stages (children, adult, old, as well as the female gender).
Es un libro muy ameno dedicado en su tiempo a inducir a nuevas personas en la práctica del running, sin los engorrosos accidentes o lesiones que uno desarrollaba. El libro enfoca diversos temas, entre ellos: el beneficio del running, la vestimenta adecuada para cada clima, y, sobre todo, el running en cada una de las etapas (niños, adulto, viejo, así como el género femenino.)
Importance of the book
Although it is an old book with topics that may have already been updated, refuted, invalidated. It is interesting to delve into the thoughts of that time, the myths surrounding running.
Aunque es un libro viejo con temas que pudieran ya haber sido actualizados, refutados, invalidados. Es interesante adentrarse en los pensamientos de esa época, los mitos que circundan alrededor del correr.
The author not only dedicated his time to enumerate the benefits, but he also sought the support of professionals of his time, to give value to his ideas. Among them are one of the founders of the Runners Wolrd Joe Henderson, a Boston Marathon winner Bill Rodgers and even a former Olympic marathoner like Ted Corbitt.
El autor no sólo dedicó su tiempo a enumerar los beneficios, buscó el apoyo de profesionales de su tiempo, para darle valor a sus ideas. Entre ellos cabe nombrar a uno de los fundadores del Runners Wolrd Joe Herderson, un ganador de la maratón de Boston Bill Rodgers y hasta un ex maratonista de las olimpiadas como Ted Corbitt.
Recommendations
Yes, I would recommend it, there is good advice that is still valid to be carried out. Including the different types of workouts to improve speed, endurance, strength, and power. There is even a chapter dedicated to women. In those days she was very limited to the roles previously imposed on her.
I would not pass up the opportunity to get my hands on this book.
Si lo recomendaría, hay buenos consejos que aún son válidos para llevarse a cabo. Inclusive los diferentes tipos de entrenamientos para mejorar tanto la velocidad, resistencia, como fuerza o potencia. Hasta hay un capítulo dedicado a las mujeres. En esos tiempos estaba muy limitada a los roles que anteriormente le imponían.
No dejaría pasar la oportunidad de ponerle las manos a este libro.
Writer's Opinion
As I have said repeatedly, reading is not limiting, reading is expanding. From a sports article to a financial book should be read.
In this book, different running anecdotes could inspire you to create stories from their basis. The mind that reads is never limited.
Como he dicho reiteradas veces, leer no limita, leer es expandirse. Desde un artículo deportivo hasta un libro financiero debe leerse.
En este libro hay diferentes anécdotas running que podrían inspirar a crear historias a partir de sus bases. La mente que lee nunca se limita.
