Hal Higdon is a senior writer for Runner's World magazine and author of more than 30 books, including Marathon: The Ultimate Training Guide, Hal Higdon's Smart Running, and Hal Higdon's How to Train. He is a competitive masters runner, coach, and lecturer, and offers expert advice on the Internet.
Higdon shares training secrets gleaned from a long career as racer, coach, and senior writer for Runner's World magazine, and offers the advice of exercise physiologists and elite runners. He describes a variety of training methods to boost speed and endurance (e.g., intervals, fartlek, and sprints), and covers warm-ups, flexibility, and strength training exercises. The text could benefit from an appendix of sample workouts for easier access, illustrations of the exercises, and a glossary of terms. This book complements the works of Jim Fixx, George Sheehan, and Bob Glover and should be useful in running collections due to the increased popularity of short-distance races. Higdon's love of running, unabated at age 60, will inspire joggers of any age.
