Book Reviews of Road Racing for Serious Runners: Multispeed Training- 5K to Marathon
Book Review: Compact but practical racing book
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good book for learning to race everything from 5k to marathon distances. There is no fluff, just the facts on how to prepare for a specific race distance. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the authors schedules are a little too general for those of us who must have a detailed schedule. This book is not a beginner's book. To get the most from it you need to have some experience running races, even if you are a slow runner.Book Review: A Nice Appendix to "Daniel's Running Formula"
Summary: 5 Stars
If Jack Daniel's book is the bible of running, this book is a close second. Clear, concise, and with good training tables, this book is a nice tweak on Daniel's book. Using the methods espoused in these two books has improved my race times dramatically. Instead of random training, every training run now has a purpose; be it a slow easy run or speed workouts at the track.
Book Review: Fantastic resource
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a fantastic resource. It has taught me the underlying purposes behind different training runs, as well as providing training schedules. I am now training less intensively, with better results. The book is perfectly titled: if you are serious about road racing, you should read it.Book Review: Nice beginning to advanced guide
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been running for just over a year but have been running with others in my group that have been running for 20+ years.
This book gives great advice that goes along with the advice that my long time running friends have offered to me.
Highly recommend.
Book Review: Couldn't be better.
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't imagine a better, more concise book on running training for distances over 1500m. A great introduction to the physiology of endurance racing, and how to apply this knowledge directly to your own workouts.
