Road
Racing for Serious Runners
 |
First
book I did with two-time Olympic marathoner Pete Pfitzinger. Not
that I'm biased or anything, but I think it's an excellent resource
for people who want no-nonsense, physiology-based information
on how to train for and race the most popular road distances.
After introductory chapters detailing the various physiological
components that contribute to success in distance running, the
book provides weeks-long training programs for 5K on up to the
marathon, at three levels of weekly mileage for each distance.
Published
1999.

The
Complete Idiot's Guide to Jogging and Running
| OK,
so the title isn't the greatest. But that's what the publisher
wanted, and tell me you're going to turn down getting paid
to write a book with Bill Rodgers. This is the running title
in the ubiquitous Complete Idiot's Guide series, rival to
(Your Subject Here) for Dummies. (Next up: Writing Complete
Idiot's Guides for Dummies.) Again, not that I'm biased, but
they wanted a comprehensive book for beginning runners, and
damnit, that's what they got. Not a bad gift for the fledging,
inquisitive runner in your life. Order through the usual bookstore
and online megaliths, or contact Bill
Rodgers Running Center for a copy signed by none other
than BR himself. First edition published 1998, second edition
2003. |
