Review
"When most people see the name Jack Daniels, they picture a whiskey bottle. But runners will think about the renowned coach and exercise physiologist. At 81, Daniels has had a bigger influence on training-for-running than anyone. Indeed, he might be considered the Albert Einstein of the sport. His 1998 book, Daniels' Running Formula, unlocked the mystery of appropriate training paces for runners of all abilities. His philosophy was simple: Do the minimum amount of work for the maximum payoff."
Runner’s World
“In one way or another, today’s serious runners abide by training principles rooted in Jack Daniels’ research and philosophy and outlined in his famous book, Daniels’ Running Formula.”

About the Author
Jack Daniels has been called the world’s best coach by Runner’s World magazine. He has more than 50 years of experience coaching and mentoring some of world’s top distance runners at both the collegiate and postcollegiate levels, including Jim Ryun, Penny Werthner, Ken Martin, Jerry Lawson, Alicia Shay, Peter Gilmore, Lisa Martin, Magdalena Lewy Boulet, and Janet Cherobon-Bawcom. He also won two Olympic medals and one world championship medal in the men’s modern pentathlon.
Daniels has decades of experience as a track and cross country coach at institutions such as Oklahoma City University, the University of Texas, Brevard College, and the State University of New York at Cortland. Under his guidance, Cortland runners won 8 NCAA Division III national championships, 30 individual national titles, and more than 130 All-America awards. He was named Women’s Cross Country Coach of the 20th Century by the NCAA Division III.
Since 1997 Daniels has been the national running coach advisor for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program, which involves coaching thousands of marathon runners each year. He has also enjoyed coaching members of the Nike Farm Team and the Chasquis, a group of Peruvian marathoners.
Daniels has logged years of graduate study and research on distance running in both the United States and Sweden. He holds a doctoral degree in exercise physiology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He also studied exercise science at the Royal Gymnastics Central Institute in Stockholm under renowned sport scientist Per-Olaf Åstrand.
In recent years, Daniels has been an associate professor in the human movement program at A.T. Still University in Mesa, Arizona, in addition to coaching Olympic runners.
Of all his accomplishments, Daniels is most proud of his two daughters and being married to his wife, Nancy.
The Daniels' Running Formula is one of the key guides to really applying focus and process to your training plan. Instead of just lacing up your shoes and running out the door, following a set training plan ensures that you are always improving and striving towards a goal. If your daily runs always feel easy, you're probably not improving.
Daniels teaches you the science behind running, explaining how the body's ability to process oxygen relates directly to running speed. Learning how to understand the impact of variables such as VO2 max enables you to adjust your runs to most effectively improve your running performance. Daniels explains the various types of runs, from easy recovery runs to threshold runs, interval training, and your all-important long runs. Reading his book, you might discover that if you're following an Internet training plan, you could be over training. In fact, Daniels speaks directly to the slower runners, making sure they understand that a long run is not supposed to take 4 hours, so if you are a slower runner, cut it off sooner rather than making the miles necessarily.
So how is this book different from the Second Edition? First, Daniels has better organized the book towards training for various length races rather than necessarily just fitness training. Since many people uses races to motivate their training, this organization is appreciated. Second, the Second Edition combines Half and Full Marathon training into 17 pages. This Third Edition separates it into 2 chapters and 58 total pages. Instead of a single Full Marathon plan with a few variants, the Third Edition has laid out quite a few different plans separately with different weekly mileages and total build-up times. This reminds me a bit of Pete Pfitzinger's "Advanced Marathoning", but with more detail on the individual runs
