Book Reviews of Daniels' Running Formula - 2nd Edition
Book Review: Science for Running Nerds
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a running nerd, or into exercise physiology, or are just wanting to know more about how to effectively train, then this should be in your library. It's a bit technical without putting you to sleep and it's full of great training ideas as well as lots of charts and data to help figure out what pace and how you should train. It has three plans(red, blue and gold) if you want to skip ahead and start training and then figure out why you're doing strides one day and actually resting during the week. Definately worth every penny.Book Review: really great running info
Summary: 5 Stars
this book has helped me to better formulate my training schedule. jack goes into great detail to explain his reasoning behind certain training techniques. he also does a really good job of explaining how to set up a personalized weekly/monthly/seasonal plan.
ive gained a lot of knowledge from this book alone and have noticed a significant improvement in the quality of my training and in my race results.
i highly recommend this book for anyone looking to learn more about the specifics of training technique.
Book Review: Great book for intermediate marathoners
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got this book and read it cover to cover. It is a great book for those who want to take marathoning to a new level. Recommended for those who have completed at least one marathon and are striving for a Boston Qualifier or beyond. The training plans in the book accomodate runners who are running around 40 miles per week up to and beyond 70 miles per week. I beleive anyone (fast or slow) who is serious about improving their marathon performance could benefit from the suggestions and research provided in this book.Book Review: If you buy one middle distance book this is the one
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to see your middle distance runners be the best they can be, buy and use this book. I'm an AAU /USATF track coach and have trained runners from 7 to 16 years old. Following the principles and training plans laid out in this book my kids have won state and regional titles and have done very well at the junior Olympics in distances from the 800M to 3000M. Daniels is an expert and takes all his years of experience and helps you bring it to the track. The VDOT ratings and training plans are worth every penny.Book Review: The best training book
Summary: 5 Stars
The results talk by themselves, my PR before following Jack Daniel's training plans: 3:24 for the marathon, achieved after years of running. Followed the "Marathon Training Plan A (pg. 260) for 2008 Boston Marathon and got a new PR of 3:17:11, followed the Elite Training Plan (pg. 264) and a new PR of 3:01:45 in last September's 2008 Berlin Marathon. This book is great, full of smart tips and science. The plans are no play, this is serious training but the rewards are great, specially when you are 48!
