Hey fellow runners, I've been running for a few years now and I'm looking for a book that'll help me take my training to the next level. Any recommendations for a running book that's geared towards intermediate runners like myself? Something with practical advice and not too much fluff would be great.
Read 'Once a Runner' by John L. Parker Jr. It's the only running book that doesn't suck.
Ugh, 'Once a Runner' is a novel, not a training guide. If you want practical advice, try '80/20 Running' by Matt Fitzgerald. It's not perfect, but it's better than some fictional story.
I've heard great things about 'Once a Runner', but I'm not sure it's what you're looking for. It's more of a novel than a training guide. Have you considered 'aniels' Running Formula' by Jack Daniels? It's a classic with practical advice for intermediate runners.
I'd recommend 'Run Faster' by Brad Hudson. It's a great resource for intermediate runners, with actionable tips on training, nutrition, and recovery. It's not too dense or overly scientific, so it's easy to digest. I found it really helpful in refining my training plan and improving my performance. Give it a shot!
Dude, you need 'Once a Runner' by John L. Parker Jr. It's a classic, no-nonsense book that'll kick your butt into gear. Not a lot of fluff, just straight-up inspiration and practical advice. You won't find any 'rah-rah' motivational crap in there, just the real deal.
Yeah, I've heard of that one. Not sure if it's for me though. I'm looking for something more focused on training plans and nutrition, not just inspiration. Anyone got any other recs?
I'd recommend '80/20 Running' by Matt Fitzgerald. It's a game-changer for intermediate runners, offering actionable advice on training and nutrition. No fluff, just results.
80/20 is okay, but 'Once a Runner' by John L. Parker Jr. is a classic that still resonates with me today.
