Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the only running book you'll ever need
Review: This is the one, for a number of reasons.

First of all, Daniels has done his homework, both on the track and in the lab. He is a practical coach who also has serious exercise physiology credientials. There is no mumbo-jumbo and no personality cult stuff happening here. This book is NOT about Jack Daniels, but about the science and art of training.

Second, the racing and training pace charts alone are worth the price of the book: nowhere else will you find a way to link your current race fitness to pacing for easy, anaerobic threshold and VO2-max workouts -all of which are explained with great clarity for us laymen and women.

Third, Daniels' guidelines for different events are neither so vague that they leave the reader still wondering what to do tomorrow, nor so precise and specific and/or personal (a la the Peter Coe book) as to preclude any adaptation to your personal situation.

If you want to be a better runner, you have to be a smarter runner, and this book will take you at least part of the way there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent, Excellent book
Review: This is the simply the best book on training I have ever read!!! I have read at least a dozen books on running and training from coaches like Dellinger, Lydiard, Bowerman, etc and runners like Rodgers, Liquori, Shorter etc and Jack Daniels book is the best of the bunch. For years I have trained by the seat of my pants trying to incorporate all I have read but with little real understanding of the affects of the different types of training I was doing. Daniels simply and clearly outlines the parts of training and their purpose. The training schedules laid out are easy to use and adaptable to any level. I feel like I now understand my training and my race times are faster. I am recommending this book to all my running friends.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Peacocks can not lay eggs
Review: While Jack Daniels is an awesome, accomplished coach and athlete, he is not a writer. This book IS packed with information, but reading it is about as exciting as is sitting through a boring, monotonous 300 person lecture. If you are dedicated to your sport, you will face the arduous challenge of reading this. If you are really, really dedicated to your sport, you will spend the time it takes to decipher a page of this highly technical book training.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Damn good book
Review: You should buy this book! There is no other running guide out there that is as intelligent, easy to understand, practical, and accurate. Though the book is not the much sought after, all inclusive "Bible of Running" type book, as it lacks important non-running information (strength training, nutrition, strectching, plyometrics, etc...) However, what it lacks in completness it makes up for with its extremely intelligent approach to training with excellent workouts and an effective approach to training. So, I can't say this is the only book you'll ever need, but if you want to make major improvements and learn alot about the proper way to train, buy this book.
