Book Reviews of The Self-Coached Runner (Vol 1)
Book Review: A great place to start with setting scheduals
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this book, and the second volume as well, for years as a starting point for setting up my running plans.
The reason I like this books so much is because it is plans for real runners and it is uncompromising.
These plans are for people who are serious about reaching their goals.
The plans are divided in time goals for different distances. Weather it is a 30 min 10k or a 50 min 10k or a marathon you want to run their is a plan for you.
Each plan has backgrounds on the runners completing them and also how the workouts should be done.
This is a must have book for any runner going it alone and wanting to reach for new heights.
-----Special note if you are going for any distance shorter than 10k you will want the second volume.
Book Review: Most comprehensive, readable and directed manual for runners
Summary: 5 Stars
No matter how much experience you have as a runner, this guide can help you achieve any goal. It is too bad it is out of print; my copy has swelled with rain water from sitting at trackside, been stepped on coming back from workouts, and generally seen more mileage than any of my shoes. Now, if only it would come back into print, I could replace it. The book outlines workout schedules, means to recover from injury, and nearly any other information you might need.Book Review: One of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
After trying several books on training, I always come back to this one. Not at all dated but I just wish Al could bring it back into print. This book took me to a 3:18 first marathon and a 29 minute PR a year later. The author is now one of the top prep coaches in Houston.Book Review: RUNNING MAAM

Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this book to enhance my training for 5k to the Marathon. It is easy to use and makes a lot of sense. I have also had the pleasure of getting additional help from Al in person. He is my idea of what a coach should be.
