Book Reviews of Daniels' Running Formula - 2nd Edition
Book Review: THE Book on Running Training
Summary: 5 Stars
I ran competitively for over tenty-five years before getting the book and I still learned a lot. I gave a copy to my son (20 yrs old) and recommended it to one of his friends. Not only did they both improve dramatically (in a hurry), but the book has also provided even more motivation for their running efforts. When someone asks me if there are any good books on running training, I simply tell them "Jack Daniels Running Formula". They laugh thinking I'm kidding, but they remember the name.Book Review: One of the best running books ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Daniel's running formula is for the serious runner. Whether you are a beginner or an elite, Daniel's scientific approach to running will help you to run better. Daniel' book is a map - you will know where you are, where you need to go and how to get there.
If you don't have access to a coach, this is the book!
If you are a beginner: don't expect info on shoes, injuries, apparel etc. For that you can refer to other books.
Go ahead..
Book Review: Running is king
Summary: 4 Stars
This was great. So good to get back to the basics of true athletic performance. Daniels does a great job at taking this as far as many professional even care to go. He spells out all the physical and mental preparations necessary for a great outcome. The areas of science are good to understand why it is necessary to do more than just run constantly and he makes that very evident.
This is a very good book, I'm probably going to buy it.

Book Review: Great for new distance coaches
Summary: 4 Stars
As a multi events coach in "the old days", I have more or less had distance coaching thrust upon me by some new athletes. Jack's book was suggested by a coaching collegue and I am not disappointed. It has lots of information that I imperfectly understood. Most impressed with the idea of working EASIER/SMARTER when running too fast is actually harmful to your training goals. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Book Review: Must Read Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Every runner must read this book. It includes sound experience and information. It's not a huge book but surprisingly you can find huge information in it. After reading this book I started to plan my training (pace, weekly mileage and intensity). It is very important for a runner to understand what he/she is doing and which type of workout does what in his/her body. By this way you can keep away from overtraining and injuries.
