5k and 10k Training
Make your workouts count with the breakthrough system that synchronizes your energy levels with training effort. Instead of fighting your body to finish a workout just because it's written on the calendar, choose the most effective workouts from 5K and 10K Training based on your body's capacity to perform at any given time. Effort-based training maximizes training adaptation by matching the goal of each workout with its optimal training level: hard when energy and recovery are high and easy when stress or recovery is low. Effort-based training also gives you the most control over the training process, allowing you to stay injury free while actually increasing the energy you have available for workouts. Sample programs contain a variety of schedules and detailed workouts for developing five race-specific abilities. Run stronger and faster with more energy by using the proven system in 5K and 10K Training . With customized programs to choose from and accompanying training logs to record and evaluate your progress, this unique system is the fastest way to reach your training goals.

For the serious runner
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Having run in marathons since my late 40's (I'm 61) in Honolulu, Italy and Denmark, I am now training for Triathlons, and find Brian Clarke's book to be an excellent teaching tool for the more "serious" runner (altho my primary purpose is for better health as I am a real estate Developer)."
Superb

I've read every popular book on training for distance runners since 1970 - and many that were published before that. I worked at Runner's World 1972-76; I mention this only because I hope it will lend weight to what I'd like to say about Brian Clarke's : simply, that it's the best book on the subject I've ever read. No one has talked intelligently about training from the perspective of how a runner during his/her workouts. Clarke does this wonderfully well, with relaxed and thorough common sense. Most books on training are much too broad - the training programs they offer make sense, but they don't tell you how to adjust them to your specific, individual needs - which change continually according to your present level of fitness, fatigue, sleep patterns, diet, the weather, etc. Clarke explains, with unprecedented clarity, how to take any program, including his, and put your body's needs in first place. As he explains, this is extremely important, because not to do so - applying rigid training plans regardless of your body's messages - is the fastest way to get in trouble. This is a great, modest, readable, extremely helpful book. Thanks, Brian.
