Excellent set of training plans - for all fitness levels,
By
This review is from: Run Workouts for Runners and Triathletes (Spiral-bound)
This is a rocking little book! It has some great training plans (they are ALL running plans though so you'll be disappointed if you focus on the word "triathletes" in the subtitle).There are training plans for the 5K all the way up to the Marathon, and at different skill levels (i.e. a Marathon plan that will allow you to just finish the race standing, to one that will help you qualify for Boston.) And they don't require that you run a specific speed, but rely on your perceived exertion level so it's suitable for people at any fitness level. The pages are laminated so you can spill coffee... (I mean WATER)... on them, no problem. My only small complaint is that the training plans reference workout types by acronym and they are unfamiliar so there's a lot of flipping around to figure out what you're supposed to do. I'm still not clear on how the workout descriptions are ordered (it's not alphabetical anyway). Of course, once you find out which plan you're doing, you'll be writing it into your training log anyway, so this flipping around isn't that bad. Oh, and there isn't much "writing" in it so you won't hear any "success stories" or about what kind of shoes you need. It's a collection of training plans, not a motivational book on how to take up running.

I've dropped 7 minutes off my 5K using this book.,
By VeloPress "Dave Trendler" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Run Workouts for Runners and Triathletes (Spiral-bound)
I do sprint triathlons and running has always been my weakest leg because I've never used a structured run training plan. My 5K time in a sprint tri has been around 30 min. (pretty darn slow). I incorporated Bobby's 5K running plan from Run Workouts into my sprint triathlon plan about two months ago. The structured training, its gradual progression of volume and intensity, and the variety of workouts have kept me motivated and working hard. No more "run twice around the park" for me; I'm actually doing interesting, productive workouts.And so far I've dropped 7 minutes off my 5K time! That kind of time should result in big gains on race day. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

this stuff works!,
By P. D. Wild "59 yo, uninjured, age-group placer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Run Workouts for Runners and Triathletes (Spiral-bound)
If you aren't able to be coached by Bobby McGee personally, then this is the next best thing. His methods are highly scientific and tested. This handbook is so complete & well-designed that it is accessible to all runners. He has generously 'given away the store' so that we can all benefit! A must-buy!PD Wild, Boulder, CO 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Great resource for coaches and athletes,
By Timothy Crowley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Run Workouts for Runners and Triathletes (Spiral-bound)
I had the great pleasure to work with Bobby prior to the 2008 Olympics,and was loking forward to this book. It did not disappoint. As a coach, I am always looking for new ways to improve the performance of my athletes. Run Workouts gave me new ideas and training progressions for all types of run training.This book should be on the shelf of every coach and self coached athlete. Tim Crowley |
