5This book feels like ut's personalized for you
Von David E. Levine
Bob Glover and his wife, Shelly, have a style that I find particularly endearing, they write in a manner that makes you feel they are addressing you personally rather than a general readership. Glover seems to know exactly what you would ask if he were your personal coach. He provides training schedules, information on running shoes, nutrition, pre-race nerves, race strategy etc. If you are less competitive and race just to improve your times but not to win races or age groups, there is plenty that speaks to you in this book. Similarly, this book is great if you are highly competitive and have the potential to be national class. If you wonder, down to the exact second, what pace you're running if you finish a 5k (or any other standard race distance) in a given time, there is a detailed chart that gives the answer. The writing style is low key and conversational. The book can either be read cover to cover or you can just as effectively go right to the chapter that's most relevant to you. I recommend this book without qualification.

5It works
Von Ein Kunde
I used this book as a guide when I ran the 1984 San Francisco Marathon. It worked great!

The thing I like is it provides a workout guide for all abilities. If you follow it, it works. Just modify it a little based on your proneness to injuries.

My recommendation is to use the guide for one level below the level of runner you think you are. This will keep it fun.

The book is especially good for the engineering type who likes to keep logs of runs and time. (I think I'll dig it out of my basement.)

It is not a motivational book. It is a training guide. You might at the same time buy one of Jim Fixx's books for the motivation side.

Good luck with your running. Remember to keep it fun. You have the rest of your life to enjoy it. don't ruin it by overtraining and getting injuries.

5Not the least disappointed
Von Paul Bankson
I read the reviews, bought the book, and was not disappointed. This is a thorough treatment covering all the bases. If you're going to run, you need to race to stay motivated. This book will help you prepare intelligently and save yourself from the two dreaded extremes: under and overtraining. If you are a half serious runner, whether beginner or advanced-- this book will be a highly valued resource. Much thanks to the authors!
