About Better Training for Distance Runners Book:
The book provides a prescription for success for today’s competitive distance runners and their coaches.
Combines recent research, sound training principles, and proven program strategies to improve performance in events ranging from the 800-meters to the marathon.
Runners and coaches will find it easy to apply the book’s cutting-edge information about running physiology and biomechanics.
Contains straightforward advice for conditioning and competing in the whole range of distance events.
The book also covers many popular topics in running, including how to:
• accurately assess running fitness
• gauge training intensity
• adjust training loads to achieve peak readiness for competition
• determine the most effective racing strategy for each event
• stay healthy throughout a running career
Better Training for Distance Runners builds upon the success of the first edition by providing loads of new information, such as the effects of altitude training and glycerin loading, the health problems experienced by women runners who may be too thin, and the best strategies for running road races and the steeplechase.
It’s an essential guide and a great read for serious distance runners and coaches who desire to excel in future seasons and events.
About The Authors:
No two authors are better qualified than David Martin and Peter Coe to address both the physiology and coaching of distance running.
David Martin has served as marathon chair of USA Track & Field’s (USATF) Men’s Development Committee since 1979 and as chair of the national governing body’s Sport Science Subcommittee since 1984.
Able to coach, advise, and scientifically evaluate many of America’s best men and women distance runners.
Martin is the author of four books, including The High Jump Book, The Marathon Footrace, and Training Distance Runners. He also is a contributor to New Studies in Athletics, the technical journal of the International Amateur Athletic Federation.
He is also a results statistician for the Association of International Marathons and the Association for Track & Field Statisticians.
Peter Coe has successfully coached domestic and foreign runners at all levels, but he is probably best known for guiding his son Sebastian to one of the greatest middle distance running careers of all time.
Under Peter’s tutelage, Sebastian won two Olympic gold medals in the 1500-meter run and two Olympic silver medals in the 800-meter run; a bronze, a silver, and a gold at the European championships; and 12 world records.
A retired engineer, Coe is a recognized international lecturer and a writer. He is author of Training Distance Runners and Winning Running. Coe was presented the Senior Coaching Award by the British Athletics Association and was named Coach of the Year by the British Milers’ Club—an organization for which he served as chairman for several years.
