5.0 out of 5 stars Damn good book, 21 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Daniel's Running Formula (Paperback)

You should buy this book! There is no other running guide out there that is as intelligent, easy to understand, practical, and accurate. Though the book is not the much sought after, all inclusive "Bible of Running" type book, as it lacks important non-running information (strength training, nutrition, strectching, plyometrics, etc...) However, what it lacks in completness it makes up for with its extremely intelligent approach to training with excellent workouts and an effective approach to training. So, I can't say this is the only book you'll ever need, but if you want to make major improvements and learn alot about the proper way to train, buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Excellent book, 19 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Daniel's Running Formula (Paperback)

This is the simply the best book on training I have ever read!!! I have read at least a dozen books on running and training from coaches like Dellinger, Lydiard, Bowerman, etc and runners like Rodgers, Liquori, Shorter etc and Jack Daniels book is the best of the bunch. For years I have trained by the seat of my pants trying to incorporate all I have read but with little real understanding of the affects of the different types of training I was doing. Daniels simply and clearly outlines the parts of training and their purpose. The training schedules laid out are easy to use and adaptable to any level. I feel like I now understand my training and my race times are faster. I am recommending this book to all my running friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars The running book I always return to, 22 Mar 2006

By	"coachmarkwhite" - See all my reviews

I have read many books on running over the years but Jack Daniels' Running Formula is the one book I always return to. Daniels lays out clear and simple rules for setting training paces and volumes. I followed his formula and saw a substantial improvement in my times without training very hard. His most important contribution is the VDOT scale for defining aerobic fitness and I regularly look up his VDOT tables in the book to determine my VDOT value based on race or a training session. Once you know your VDOT you can then look up your training paces for marathon pace, tempo pace, 5K pace, and mile pace. I have used these table with great success as a coach to set training intensities for the athletes under my supervision and in the London Marathon they went on to run fast times, far above what they originally hoped for. In my mind, there is no more important book on my bookshelf and I cannot recommend this book too highly.
