5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent training guides for endurance sports, 27 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Written by people who have been there, done it and trained others to do the same. I bought his book to help me write a training schedule; it's done all that and much more, allowing me to customise my approach to my training and seek the goals I want. Serious it might be, it's also a well written easy to read book with an emphasis on having fun and enjoying your training.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this on your rest day!, 8 Oct 2004
By Paul Snell "Paul Snell" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book which really makes sense of scientific training. If you don't have a coach, you should use this. The basic philosophy of the book is that trudging through the same hard wokout every day is not the answer - divide you're workouts according to their specific character, for example: intervals vs. overdistance (very easy, very far). Don't mash them together! Also good information on rest, nutrition, and planning the training year: what should I do this week?

5.0 out of 5 stars the very best systems book, 1 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This is a very good systems design book that details how to develop a "best available strategy*" training program to accomplish a goal you set -- e.g., run a 50 Minute 10K race in late August. I know of no other book so good at letting you set a goal and then derive a fully structured training program for meeting that goal.

* based on current optimization theories regarding load (HR), workout duriation, periodization ...
