Summary: The Best Training Book I've Ever Read
Comment: The one thing that I used to hate about being on the track team was that I never knew how to train in the summer and winter. My coaches provided little information about specific training for the offseason. Thanks to this book I now know exactly what to do during the offseason to maximize my performances. I've read probably 10 books about training and this is definitely the best one. Why? Because the methods are PROVEN. Sure, there might be some new fancy scientific method that works a tiny bit better, but this training has been proven over decades to work wonders on elite distance runners. Take Ryan Hall and Anita Siraki - they use the program in this book and have run a 3:42 1500 (equivalent to a 4:00 mile) and a low 10:00s 2 mile, repectively. This book tells you exactly what kind of workouts and how much of each for every month of the year to ensure success. I can't imagine what else anyone would need. The only downside to the book is that it doesn't have anything about specific streches, buying shoes, etc. but that's because this book it totally about training. If you don't know how to stetch already then you probably don't need this book. If you have big dreams for your running future, buy Run with the Best. I promise you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Practical Guide to Training to be the best!
Comment: Irv Ray and Tony Benson are two extremely successful coaches and students of the sport, yet they do not allow their expertise to disrupt wiht scholarly and technical jargon what is an easily read and understood text on how to train and race your best.
Geared more to the coach, yet applicaple to the athlete, Run With The Best breaks down the training-racing-peaking process into the steps one must take in order to improve as a runner. None of it is theory, it is all time-tested, scientific and proven ... the results of the runners who have trained under Benson's and Ray's tutelage stand as testimony. The book is full of charts and text that explains what it is you are looking at in chart form and it also includes numerous examples of the workouts that fall within the framework of their training system.
I have used the training system with my runners at the high school level and I have found the principles to be successful regardless of the talent level of the athlete. Improvement comes to any runner willing to follow the model set forth in the book.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking a practical and proven method of training successful runners.
