The Runner’s Devotional review MY TAKE: First, let me admit I requested this book because I was in the last half of a successful diet and really wanted to get into long distance running. But that was BEFORE I tore both of the meniscus and my ACL in my left knee, which not only stopped the diet/weight loss, but shelved any possible notion of me taking up running. Still, I found this book to be not only interesting, but I could see it being helpful for someone who is either an avid runner, or an aspiring one to be.

It should not feel like a chore to read. It should feel like something you enjoy reading. I enjoy this book.The authors Dana Niesluchowski, and Dave Veerman have run marathons – they understand fitness. Dana is a mom to a young son. I feel like I can connect with them.The book is broken up into 52 weeks, with a training log space after every week. You can read a whole week at once or you can read some each day according to…
