Title: Post-Marathon training Post by: Cameron Clarke on October 05, 2008, 09:55:49 am After finishing SGM this year, I'm looking to really improve my training and run a BQ next summer in Salt Lake. I am thinking that I should buy some marathoning or running books. I'll be doing some 10ks and maybe half-marathons too, so I thought about getting Daniel's Running Formula for training for less than a marathon, and then getting another book that focuses more on marathon training. Good idea or bad idea?

As for training books, I like Gordon Bloch's How to Train For and Run Your Best Marathon. The emphasis in his program is on time.. minutes rather than miles. ANother book I also used before was Marathon Training for Dummies, though I like Bloch's programs much more. Hope this helps.

http://fastrunningblog.com/forum/index.php/topic,355.0.html I still like Pfitzinger's Advanced Marathoning the best. Title: Re: Post-Marathon training Post by: AndyBrowning on October 05, 2008, 08:41:52 pm I'll second Jon's recommendation of Advanced Marathoning by Pete Pfitzinger.
Title: Re: Post-Marathon training Post by: Cameron Clarke on October 07, 2008, 06:41:28 pm Thanks guys, I bought the Advanced Marathoning book and got Daniel's Running Formula from our library. They have Once A Runner, but it's on interlibrary loan, and I don't know when it'll be back.
I'm still looking for "Sasha's Running Guide" though. |
