I assume you mean 'The New Complete Runner's Handbook' - a wonderful book, the one I used for self-coaching at the outset of my running career - and I don't think I could have achieved all I have without it. Every runner should have a copy.
Next best, for me, was 'Daniel's Running Formula' which helped me to train sensibly at the right intensity. His training schedules are based on your last race performance and, on paper, look remarkably easy - so you don't over-cook things or injure yourself.
Cheers!
