The 30-Minute Runner, now updated and in paperback, takes a simplified approach to training, which is to break down everything into one thirty-minute session per day. This is a manageable segment for first-time runners and those who may be in decent shape but lead incredibly busy lives.

Everything in the book, including training schedules, techniques, and tips, is put forth purely in terms of minutes spent running. There are no goal paces to worry about, no mileage to keep track of, and nothing to measure other than time spent out on the roads and trails. The book focuses on how to maximise those thirty critical minutes in order to achieve two primary goals: shedding extra pounds and completing a 5K race.
