A Running Bible for Every Coach (5/6 people found this helpful)
This book pulls together everything you ned to know about running and coaching. I use this as my bible when coaching my cross country runners.
Comprehensive (5/5 people found this helpful)
A really comprehensive book on all aspects of running. I am sure it will become a reference book for all serious runners. The only book that can match "Better Training for Distance Runners" would be "Lore of Running".
Excellent primer on training for the serious runner (5/5 people found this helpful)
Of all the books on training runners, this on book offers the most comprehensive explaination of what it take to get to the other level. Although its aim is for serious runners and coaches, it can be used as a reference guide for those 'tweener runners who are not weekend warriors but neither national class or better atheletes. This is a great book that I wished were around when I was in high school. If you ever wanted to run that sub 4:00 mile then this is where you would learn how to do it. Great book!
Excellent (3/3 people found this helpful)
For anyone serious about coaching the distance events, this is a must-read. Technically sound and practically written, it is a valuable tool in the quest for achieving optimal athletic performance in the distance events. Although it doesn't go into full depth of physiological concepts, it does more than an adequate job in this regard for most coaches. Certainly its sections in terms of physiology are much more extensive than most other books of similar subject-matter. But its greatest strength is its adaptability towards implementation in distance training programs. The bottom line is that it is a must-read for distance coaches of any level.
THE definitive source for serious runners. (2/2 people found this helpful)
If you are a competitive runner who races 800m or farther, look no further than this title for serious training advice. This is a virtual bible in terms for technical advice, training guidelines, and example programs. It covers the science, strategy, and psychology of seriuos training and competition. No serious athelete or coach should be without this book.
