It's divided into five main sections:

- Running Gear (what's essential - and what's crap)
- The Runner's Diet (small tweaks you can make today to get more from your food)
- Recovery and Injury Prevention (how fast could you be if you rarely or never got hurt?)
- Motivation and Random Training Tips (how most runners run longer in their races - and more)
And that's just a glimpse of all 100+ lessons you'll learn (in less than 2 minutes each).
