short, not very useful

First off, this book has about a 16 point font and is very short. It looks like my 6th grade book reports where I was trying to fill as many pages as possible. The author is a weight-lifter first and foremost and doesn't seem to have any particular insight into running. He just lists basic...

Generic, basic, useless

First, you must be aware of the fact that this book is part of a series of about 30 books called "Weight training for...", including diverse activities such as rugby, bowling and cheerleading, and which are very similar one another. The author had the wonderful idea of writing basically one book...

A Good Sart

All of the books in this series are nearly the same which can be a bit annoying. However, I view any weight-training programs offered as just a start rather than as the end all of what to do.

Disappointed!

I was disappointed in this book. I was hoping to find out more on the difference in weight training between distance runners/sprinters. There was very little useful information on this topic. I know these drills, weights, but as a distance coach, this didn't help at all. It made me think of...

the ultimate guide to weight training for running

Bad, bad, bad choice. Don't bother. It doesn't even get closer to be a guide for running. Not even a good guide for weight lifting. Cheap trick.

More Motivation helps, here is a great source for some more!

If you train, be it for a goal race or a charity run, then you, like me need motivation to keep going forward. We all need tried and true tips to change things up, this book is full of those. Nobody can or should run everyday, so why not hit the gym on off days? we all need something different...

Okay weight training book BUT very limited running focus

I purchased this book as I'm changing my running style to a shorter gait, faster stride to reduce injury and needed to build strength in my legs and calves to accommodate this gradual change. This is the only weight training for running book I found on Amazon so I went with it along with...
