Reviews for A Runner's Guide 2

Russ has applied the full measure of his talents in writing this wonderfully insightful book. This book is a product of his athletic background including his years at Villanova, his coaching experience, and his acute analytic abilities. There is something for every athlete, runner and coach. Russ addresses a wide range of issues pertaining to training, technique, mental preparation, and team building. A must read! Jerry Bouma, Author - The Villanova Track Story 1966-1981 Penn Relays Champion By the author of Supernova and A Runner's Guide, this latest collection of articles and stories on coaching, running, and living a healthy life are timely and on the mark. You'll find stories on basketball at Villanova, his race at The Millrose Games and findings from his scientific investigations into how to improve distance running. He writes on his study trips to the Soviet Union and the mysterious needles along with my personal favorite - The Rocking Chair. Start to finish, Russ has penned another winner! Mark Mindel, 1979 Montreal Marathon Champion Founder Stockade-athon Lots of good ideas. A highly readable juxtaposition of hard science, art of running, and folksy storytelling. This book could form the foundation for any comprehensive running library. The Complete Book of Running by Jim Fixx was written for joggers. A Runner's Guide #2 is written for runners.
