In the book that Runners World magazine called "the best training book," premier running coach Jack Daniels provides you with his proven VDOT formula to guide you through training at exactly the right intensity to become a faster, stronger runner. Choose from the red, white, blue, and gold programs to get into shape, target a race program, or regain conditioning after a layoff or injury. Race competitively with programs for 800 meters, 1500 meters to 3000 meters, cross country races, 5K to 15K, and half-marathon up to the marathon. Each program incorporates the right mix of the five training intensities to help you build endurance, strength, and speed, and Daniels intensity point system makes it easy to track the time you spend at each level. The formula can be customized to your current fitness level and the number of weeks you have available for training, and it provides the perfect solution for short training seasons. Get the results youre seeking every time you lace up your shoes for a training run or race with the workouts and programs detailed in Daniels Running Formula. Average Rating:

Also has training plans for a variety of experience levels and distances. A must read for runners!

This book is great, full of smart tips and science. The plans are no play, this is serious training but the rewards are great, specially when you are ...
