Distance Training for Young Athletes (Meyer & Meyer Sport) Distance Training for Young Athletes (Meyer & Meyer Sport) Customer Review: I sent it back
I’m sorry but I couldn’t find this book useful. The author told many stories from his coaching experience with these star athletes but the information I got could have been faxed to me on a sheet of paper with bullet points. I didn’t think that it was well written either.
Customer Review: Just simply another edition of running to the top
This book deals very little with special concerns of coaching young athletes. There are a few chapters about communicating with young athletes and a few schedules (nothing special) for runners of different ages. But most of the content is simply copied straight from Running to the top. You don’t probably need this book, it’s much thinner than Running to the top. If you want to learn the Lydiard approach, the best thing to do is to simply buy Running to the top.

Best Runs Best Runs Joe Henderson offers more than 100 essays that will inform, inspire, and amuse hard-core competitors and fitness joggers alike. This book contains lessons and insights on everything from the optimal running diet to the 25 best running resources.
Customer Review: A revised version of better runs
When I bought this book I thought it would be a book like better runs but with completely new essays. When I got the book, I noticed that it wasn’t really much more than a revised version of Better runs. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the content of this book — it gives you great running advice. But if you’ve read Better runs, there’s not much new to learn from this book. It does contain some new insights, so it still might be worth the purchase if you enjoy reading Henderson’s work.
Customer Review: great book!
This book not only offers training tips, but racing strategies and most important- inspiration. I found the look at the mental side of running to be incredibly motivating, and i couldn’t wait to get on my shoes and run out the front door. I re-read parts of it before races, just to keep up my mental fitness as well as my physical. I recommend this to ANY runner.

The Marathon and Half Marathon: A Training Guide The Marathon and Half Marathon: A Training Guide

As this study shows, the popularity of the marathon and half marathon has increased dramatically in recent years. Growing numbers of people have become aware of the life-changing experiences and the health benefits that result from training for, and competing in, a 13.1 - or 26.2 - mile race. Notwithstanding this, these events are extremely testing endurance races and entrants need to be properly informed so that they can train and prepare in an appropriate way. This handbook discusses everything you need to know, including choosing the right clothes and running shoes, the importance of stretching and core stability, and even post-race nutrition and hydration.

Customer Review: Well worth the money - thank God for this book!
I bought this book in the UK last year after a recommendation from a friend, who said it was the top ranked marathon training book on Amazon in the UK. After reading it and following its advice, I can see why.
If you are new to marathon or half marathon running, this is the only book you need.
After I had my baby, i set myself a goal to run in my first marathon and this book helped me every step of the way. It has great pictures which help to break up the text and it’s easy and entertaining to read. It covers everything from training to nutrition to injuries and most importantly of all - it’s realistic. This book spoke to me far more than 3 of the top ranked books on the Amazon here and I’m amazed this gem of a book has not really been discovered yet.
I never thought i’d say this, but seeing that I enjoyed the last marathon so much I am now thinking of doing another one! I lost the last 20lbs of my baby weight last time, so it’ll be a great way to stay in shape.
So, If you want to enjoy your running and spend a little extra on a great marathon training book, you will not regret buying this. I think I’ll buy the author’s other book on fitness myths. If this one is anything to go by, it’ll surely be a great read.

Triathlon: A Training Manual Triathlon: A Training Manual

The triathlon is the ultimate endurance challenge, pushing the body to its extreme, but giving back an immense and unsurpassed feeling of achievement and reward. This book shows newcomers the best ways to try out the sport, and for those already participating, how to achieve their personal best safely and efficiently. It covers training and how to prepare a realistic program; adapting to your strengths and weaknesses; advice on diet and nutrition, weight training, and stretching and flexibility; injuries; and preparation for positive, combative mental attitude for competition.

Customer Review: Good book about training several sports
I am planning to do the Swedish Classic - a combination of four events during one year: Skiing, Biking, Swimming and Running. The differences from triathlon is 1) that these are separate events and b) the skiing. So that is why I picked this book up.
