Book Description
Get in the best shape of your running career with the scientifically based training in Daniels' Running Formula.

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 only running book you need,
By Road Runner "Mike" (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daniels' Running Formula (Paperback)
I have a lot of books on running, but if I needed only one, it would be this one. Quite simple to understand (no real formulas), tables that explain where you are in term of your current running ability, which paces to use, how to make a training plan... everything is inside. You can use one of four predefined training plans or make your own by using Dr Daniels' instructions (how many quality workouts, which one in each phase of your preparation, their duration and pace).Every runner knows the terms like Repetitions, Intervals, Marathon, Easy (or recovery) pace, but nobody knows what it is and how fast it is. For the first time I found in this book which time corresponds to each one of these paces (according to my current fitness). Even if you are not too interested to know all the physiological details on running, stress and recovery, it is worth of trying to understand the benefits of each pace. So, once again, if I had to keep only one book on running I own - this would be The One.

Best running book for the scientifically minded!,

This review is from: Daniels' Running Formula (Paperback)
My running library contains more than 20 books and I rate this one the best. It offers a truly scientific way of training. Each and every point is thoroughly explained. A book like this is an absolute delight for the thinking runner who not only wants to know what to do, but also why. The book is very practical too, as the instructions are distilled into just a few tables - all easy to use. You will learn Daniels' proven methods to improve endurance, lactate threshold, VO2Max and mechanical running speed. The real beauty of this book is that it can be used by elite runners and slow beginners alike; the tables accommodate all runners and tell us exactly what to do based on our recent race times. If I could choose only two books on running, it would be this one and The Lore of Running by Dr Tim Noakes.

Must read for runners!,

This review is from: Daniels' Running Formula-2nd Edition (Paperback)
After reading the long and boring "Lore of running" by Timothy Noakes, I realized that even though I learned a lot I really didn't know where to go training wise. That's where Jack Daniel's book help you most, it shows you precisely the proper training for any level you are for any distance and it explains in details the intensities you should use. It's quite a simple book but, it's an effective one for increasing your performance!
