5.0 out of 5 stars Top read, 15 Aug 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Off-road Running (Paperback)

This book is excellent material for anyone with an interest in Off-road running, either as an established athlete or as a newcomer to the discipline. Very well researched with in-depth detail, especially the scientific side of this game. Backed up with profiles of leading athletes in each field & with advice on Fellrunning/MM's/XC/Orienteering & Trail running. This is a great item for anyone who thinks that they need to be smarter with their training/racing programmes.
All in all, a great book, anyone who wants to renew or improve their off-road running should run out & buy it. Now.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book On Running One Can Buy, 11 April 2008

By	Graham W. Breeze - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Off-road Running (Paperback)

Every chapter in this broad ranging book will not be of equal interest to every reader but just one chapter eg the Physiology of Training or Supporting your Training will justify its purchase for less than the price of a race entry fee. This book will simply make you a better runner.
