Summary: Everything you wanted to know about running ...but.........!
Comment: A must for every serious runners library.
The answers, my friend, are in here but they are well hidden. This book requires patience and background knowledge to make the most of it. The majority of the text could have been left in the lab but then we would have lost a few gems along the way. If things don't make sense the first time then maybe you can revisit them in the future.
Written by two passionate devotees - judicious editing could have avoided some of the difficulties people may find in interpreting their complex messages.
Coe is Martin's key to practicality:Martin is Coe's key to academia. While people can recall the sublime running of Seb Coe there will always be a strong market for unlocking his training secrets. At the end of the day the message is simple ..."to run faster you must run quicker!"

Summary: Excellent despite its flaws
Comment: This book is tailored toward a small group of people, namely very serious competitive runners who plan to manage a successful running career. It is not for the weekend warrior who runs to lose weight, someone trying to run their first marathon, or attention deficit high school students who get discouraged because of the vast scientific knowledge contained in this book. It is a thoroughly researched, brilliantly done, scientifically based work that is probably the most complete book on competitive running ever compiled. I especially loved the fact of the 800m race being included in the strategy section, as a serious 800/1600m athlete is often left without advice on how to run the half, one of the most challenging yet neglected distance events. If you are serious, OR if you are mainly a 800m and 1600m runner as I am, then buy this book, otherwise purchase the Daniels Running Formula, the other 'best' running book ever written.
Rating: 1
Summary: Incomprehensible
Comment: Gibberish disguised as science. Get Noakes' Lore of Running if you want sensible speculation based on science.
