Daniels' Running Formula

If you're a running nerd, or into exercise physiology, or are just wanting to know more about how to effectively train, then this should be in your library. It's a bit technical without putting you to sleep and it's full of great training ideas as well as lots of charts and data to help figure out what pace and how you should train. It has three plans(red, blue and gold) if you want to skip ahead and start training and then figure out why you're doing strides one day and actually resting during the week. Definately worth every penny.

This book has something for everyone. It has advanced and beginner topics that had me reading every evening until it was done. I got several tips that will help me in my training.

Plan your workouts for specific upcoming events. You'll be able to create your own programs, and you'll learn exactly how to run.

Daniel's running formula is for the serious runner. Whether you are a beginner or an elite, Daniel's scientific approach to running will help you to run better. Daniel' book is a map - you will know where you are, where you need to go and how to get there.

If you don't have access to a coach, this is the book!

If you are a beginner: don't expect info on shoes, injuries, apparel etc. For that you can refer to other books.

Go ahead..

For the more technically minded runner or coach this is a great read. It goes beyond the usual vague explanations to provide exact details on what to do when to do it and how to do it. For creating effective programs Daniel's Formula is a must.
