 Great Training Schedules June 13, 2001
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've been looking for charts to help me with mileage and training for various races and this one has a ton to choose from. I'm training for my first marathon using his Novice marathon guide and it has been great. Finally, some concrete schedules to use for any distance!
 An excellent compendium of training ideas July 13, 1999

I am quite surprised by the negative reviews of this book. I have found it helpful for training for races ranging in length from 10 to 50 kilometers. Skim it, read it, study it, but at the least you'll never have to buy another series of training charts.
 Not worth it, try again May 7, 1999

I have purchased many of Hal's books and this is the only one I have ever been disappointed in. Not at all worth owning, the contents of this book is mainly training charts.
Tha one star rating is for the cover of the book April 7, 1999

Looking at the title and the briefing I expected a lot from this book. I expected recommendations about the tempo, distance to cover, periods to rest, what&when to/not to eat or drink, places to/not to train, what to wear, etc. together with the reasons.Unfortunately none of my expectations were covered. The book can be defined as a collection of lectures or articles of different gurus. Thus it is targeting the academicians rather than the amateur runners like myself.
An excellent collection of training regimens February 1, 1999

The title on this one may fool you. I followed Higdon's Chicago Marathon training guide (included in this book) for two marathons and bought the book to get his insight on races of other distances. While I was initially quite disappointed that the training schedules in this tome were mostly not Mr. Higdon's, there is no denying this is a fabulous book. With schedules ranging in difficulty from novice to expert runners, and ranging in distance from the 5K to the Ultramarathon, there's almost too much information for one little book. Prepare to be overwhelmed. If you can't find a training schedule in here, you can't be satisfied. It's one stop shopping for all kinds of runners.
