A good book on running - recommendations pls!

flabulous4

Hello all,
I started running mid-2011 with C25K and now am getting a little more serious - have signed up for a 10K race in February and am planning to do a half marathon later in 2012. Can anyone recommend a good book on running - technique, speedwork, avoiding injury etc? So far I've managed not to injure myself but I figure if I'm increasing distance and running more then some expert guidance would be useful.
All suggestions gratefully received!
Many thanks,
Flab4

I don't run but this book is used in conjunction with a mini-marathon training series at the gym I go to so I figure it must be pretty good.

hello, well done on your 2stones! have you tried runners world? they have lots of articles on there to get you started. I also like womens running- http://www.womensrunninguk.co.uk/. you can find the magazine either in whsmiths or other supermarkets.

Cheers, I subscribe to women's running but was after a book for reference and consistency. Well done on yours too!
