The Runner's Field Manual covers everything from first aid (popping blisters) to navigation (sans GPS) to identifying other species that the roving runner might encounter on the road and much more information that readers will find useful and entertaining, including: navigating the water stop; mating habits: when runner's date, marry, and reproduce; how to cross the street (it's harder than you think); and, race waivers - why you're better off not reading the fine print. Veteran runners will nod in recognition at the Field Manual's many lessons, warnings, and instructional asides; newcomers to the sport will appreciate the insider info. Full of charts, illustrations, and more than a few laughs, The Runner's Field Manual is the perfect reference for anyone who loves to run - or wants to learn how.
