Product Description
All too often, runners reach a plateau in fitness because they do the same type of training, week after week. To see improvements in fitness, athletes need to vary the kinds of workouts they do. For runners, this means mixing up endurance runs with hill repeats, intervals, and track workouts. "Run Workouts for Runners and Triathletes" is the perfect tool for self-coached athletes who want variety in their training. Olympic-level coach Bobby McGee has teamed up with World Champion marathoner Mark Plaatjes to give runners of all stripes a complete collection of workouts and training plans. McGee and Plaatjes explain precisely how runners can determine their training pace and how to balance hard days with easy days. "Run Workouts for Runners and Triathletes" includes new takes on the workouts that all runners and triathletes should have at the ready, such as track repeats, hill running, and interval training. In addition to these classic approaches, McGee and Plaatjes include workouts that reflect their own unique and highly successful methodology. This book includes: spiral-bound, sweatproof pages; 2-colour interior; charts and tables throughout; and 20 training plans to tackle common running and triathlon race distances.

Format:Spiral-bound
This is a great "technical" book without unnecessary text and images. It includes detailed charts for athlets from every level. You can use this book to improve your PB and fine tune your training style. The binder form and covered sheets are practical for outdoor use and you can easily drop it into your training bag. If you are training by your self without a coach, this book is a must have.

I've dropped 7 minutes off my 5K using this book.
15 April 2009
Format:Spiral-bound
I do sprint triathlons and running has always been my weakest leg because I've never used a structured run training plan. My 5K time in a sprint tri has been around 30 min. (pretty darn slow). I incorporated Bobby's 5K running plan from Run Workouts into my sprint triathlon plan about two months ago. The structured training, its gradual progression of volume and intensity, and the variety of workouts have kept me motivated and working hard. No more "run twice around the park" for me; I'm actually doing interesting, productive workouts.
And so far I've dropped 7 minutes off my 5K time! That kind of time should result in big gains on race day.

this stuff works!

If you aren't able to be coached by Bobby McGee personally, then this is the next best thing. His methods are highly scientific and tested. This handbook is so complete & well-designed that it is accessible to all runners. He has generously 'given away the store' so that we can all benefit! A must-buy!

Great resource for coaches and athletes
15 April 2009
Format:Spiral-bound
I had the great pleasure to work with Bobby prior to the 2008 Olympics,and was loking forward to this book. It did not disappoint. As a coach, I am always looking for new ways to improve the performance of my athletes. Run Workouts gave me new ideas and training progressions for all types of run training.
This book should be on the shelf of every coach and self coached athlete.
