Book Reviews of The Competitive Runner's Handbook: The Bestselling Guide to Running 5Ks through Marathons

Book Review: An absolute must for every serious club runner
Summary: 5 Stars

Too many books and magazines are written for people who are new to running and want some simple advice on how to get around their local 10K before it gets dark - if that is what you want try another book.

Wether you are serious about running a fast 5K or a sub 3 hour marathon this book provides heaps of useful advice. Ther are chapters on specific training for all distances from 5K upwards, stretching, fartlek training, tempo training, treadmills, heart rates, illnesses, cross training ....

The book is written in such a way that you can either read it from cover to cover or you can dip into it as a useful reference manual. Since I unwrapped my copy, on Christmas day last year, hardly a day goes by when I don't 'dip into it'.

I challenge anybody to buy this book and not improve their running!
