This is the first edition. I liked it so well that when the second edition came out I bought it. ( )

While I once ran a half-marathon, most of my running these days doesn't go beyond a 5K. And a slow 5K at that. I looked for a book to help me switch into high gear, but frankly this book was too much for me. I really felt like it was written either for running coaches or for more serious runners and athletes. I found myself skimming chapters or reading sections without much sinking in. That said, I did really appreciate the charts and tables. The book is good at outlining a battle plan and helping you think about how to put together a program. In the end, I feel like this is a book for folks who are already serious runners. Maybe in a few years after I have been running more (and further), I will turn back to it and find it more helpful. ( )

The most comprehensive training manual I have found that coaches all levels of runners from beginners to elite. I appreciate the advice on treadmill training, days on, days off, how to prepare for races of various lengths, well-defined charts for different levels of athletes. This is simply a must have for any runner's library. ( )

A very comprehensive coaching bible for all kinds of runners. Honestly, as someone who was a sprinter and plays a lot of other sports, this is still a great book to read. ( )

If you are looking for a textbook on how to become a better runner, this is the book for you. Knowing that there are all sorts of runners, there are some chapters that do not apply. For example, for the already serious long distance runner, information related to starting and building a running program may not be helpful. However, I have shared this book with other runners and each one found interest and excitement as to how this could improve their game. It will be a reference book for family and friends. ( )
