Description

For both runners entering that first neighborhood race and elite marathoners, trainers Bob and Shelly-lynn Florence Glover's completely revised guide is the book on training to compete. A book that's already sold close to 200,000 copies, The Competitive Runner's Handbook will now offer all the latest information needed to design basic training programs; special workouts to increase strength, endurance, and power; schedules and worksheets to develop individual goals; and specifics on preparing for all kinds of races--with an emphasis on the 10K and the marathon.

Informed by their over thirty years of coaching experience, the Glovers give winning tips on alternative training, footwear and diet, and common injuries and illnesses, as well as sensible advice on balancing running with work and home life.


Customer reviews for 'The Competitive Runner's Handbook: The Bestselling Guide to Running 5Ks through Marathons'

«Great Book but a lot of information»

This book was a little overwhelming for me. I found it to be a little too much information. Definatly not for new runner's.

«Great book for competitive runners at all levels»

This is an excellent book. It goes through everything you need to know to be a serious runner, from warm-up routines to how things such as weather affect different people. I looked at many other books at the store before getting this one, and this is certainly the best. Highly recommended.

«If you love to race your best, read this book!»

I purchased this book originally on the Kindle, and read it and loved it. I marked it up quite a bit, and kept coming back to it. But, the charts don't render well, and are a big reason to continue to use the reference. So, I purchased a hard copy. When it comes to race preparation, training, strategies, tactics... and honestly evaluating where you are competitively, I've not found a better book.
