Great Book and Reference!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
An excellent book and reference for both beginner and seasoned runners. The book is laid out in an excellent format and is clearly, superbly written. This book also touches upon form, stretching, and other aspects that most runners take for granted. I have purchased a plethora of other running books out there and this one takes the cake! Excellent!
A MUST!

Coach Damon Martin is a very smart man. He knows so much about running. This is a key book to anyone that doesn't run, or does run. All in all you have to read this book!
Terrific Little Book!

Despite the corny title, this book packs a ton of good information into its chapters. Damon Martin is not just a coach, but a true "Road Scholar" whose fluency in the science behind his training program is apparent in every chapter. At the same time, the book is not at all technical and is accessible to a wide audience. His insights into applying different types of workouts and periodization in training are some of the best I've seen. The information on weight training, cross training, stretching and nutrition were also helpful. I've never been disciplined about stretching before or after I run, but after reading this book I see that this small step could really help my running. Finally, the anecdotes from his years as a college coach are inspiring, heart-warming, and at times hilarious. Any veteran or beginning runner will appreciate the stories that animate this monograph. Coach Martin has written a book that will stand the test of time!

Running again...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book gave me great ideas for my training program. I have been a runner off and on for years with not much success and lots of nagging injuries. After reading this, I can see several areas where I can improve my plan and stay healthy as I am trying to keep on my running schedule. I appreciate the simple and easy to use language. Love the stories about the runners, very heartwarming and inspiring.
