Consider Galloway's Book on Running by Jeff Galloway.
“Practical and plain-spoken, this running guide hands beginners clear pacing rules, gradual mileage programs, and a strong emphasis on rest and recovery. The writing reads like a coach talking through a training plan, with lots of templates and real-world examples you can apply quickly. Where it frustrates is in repeating the same coaching points and relying on anecdotes rather than technical deep-dives into biomechanics. Experienced runners may find some sections redundant. Best used as a how-to guide you consult alongside your weekly schedule.”
