I have always done Pilates for my back but this book was great in that it specialised in exercises for running. I have been doing the couch to 5k so found this very helpful. It is well laid out, is easy to follow with the use of pictures and gives suggested guide plans to follow.

This is a fantastic manual for introducing you to Pilates, understanding the theory behind it and explaining how it can improve your everyday life. The exercises are communicated really clearly with photographs and adaptations for different levels of ability are given. It is written in a very clear manner and presented in a very logical format- highly recommended.
