"This is a great book for anyone looking to add cross training to their running. Helps you to avoid injury and to keep all body parts strong. Emphasis is on three quality runs per week with cross training thrown in. Many people say that they get their best times after using this program."

"Love, love, love this book. Makes great sense, excellent options, challenging paces to keep training interesting, exercises and stretches, issues etc. well illustrated and explained. Fabulous book, perhaps a little more on refining form would have been good, but a lot of that will come about naturally through the crosstraining and speedwork drills, I hope."
