About the Author
Pete Pfitzinger, the top American finisher in the 1984 and 1988 Olympic marathons, is a respected coach, exercise physiologist, and administrator of high-performance sport. He established himself as one of the best marathoners in U.S. history by outkicking Alberto Salazar to win the 1984 U.S. Olympic Trials. That same year he received the DeCelle Award for America’s best distance runner and was named Runner of the Year by the Road Runners Club of America. He is also a two-time winner of the San Francisco Marathon and finished third in the 1987 New York City Marathon. He is a member of the Road Runners Club of America’s Hall of Fame.

Although best known as a marathoner, Pfitzinger was highly successful at shorter distances with personal bests of 22:46 for 5 miles, 28:41 for 10K, 43:37 for 15K, and 1:03:14 for the half marathon. He won national championships at 15K and 30K and held the American record for 20 miles. As a coach, Pfitzinger has more than 30 years’ experience helping runners achieve their personal goals, whether it’s completing their first 5K or competing with distinction on the world stage. He is currently responsible for coaching, athlete development, and performance planning as a general manager for High Performance Sport New Zealand, supporting over 400 Olympic-level and emerging international athletes.

Pfitzinger is also a successful author, having written Road Racing for Serious Runners (1998), Advanced Marathoning (2001), and Advanced Marathoning, Second Edition (2009), all from Human Kinetics. He was a senior writer for Running Times from 1997 to 2008 and author of the magazine’s most popular column, “The Pfitzinger Lab Report.”

Pfitzinger is a graduate of Cornell University (BSc, MBA) and the University of Massachusetts (MSc exercise science). He and his wife, New Zealand track Olympian Christine Pfitzinger, live in New Zealand with their two daughters, Annika and Katrina.

Philip Latter is a senior writer for Running Times and the head cross country coach at Swain County High School in North Carolina. He has also been the head cross country coach at Radford University in Virginia and the lead assistant at Fort Collins High School in Colorado, where he helped guide the Lambkins to three Nike Cross Nationals appearances. In addition to Running Times, his writing has appeared in Runner’s World and on RunnersWorld.com and ESPNRise.com.

A runner for more than 15 years, Latter set four school records at the University of North Carolina at Asheville and was a five-time All-Big South runner and a two-time member of the All-Academic team. He holds PRs of 4:01 (1500 meters), 8:32 (3000 meters), 14:47 (5000 meters), 31:24 (10,000 meters), and 1:12:11 (half marathon).

Latter lives in Bryson City, North Carolina, with his wife, Macy, and two daughters, Aspen and Willow. He continues to train seriously for road races of all distances, mostly on the trails of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, which sits exactly one mile from his doorstep.

《Faster Road Racing》亚马逊读者评论：

Got this because I went from 3:00 to 2:55 to 2:54 to 2:50 to 2:49 on plans out of Advanced Marathoning and this is by the same great author. Pfitzinger and Philip Latter know running and are great at making plans and writing books. Lot of variety in the plans based on how much weekly mileage you'd like to do. This should be the gold standard for 5Ks-half marahtons like Advanced Marathoning is for the marathon. Highly recommend this book!

The best thing you can do for your running and racing is hire a coach. If you can't hire a coach, then the next best thing you can do is read this book! The plans are simple and easy to follow but more importantly this book will not only help you get faster by doing great workouts, it will help you understand the "why?" behind they training so you can make better decisions, stay healthier, and enjoy running more. My copy is so full of highlights, margin notes, and dog-ears, that I had to get my wife her own copy. THANK YOU for writing this book!

While this book is intended for "serious" runners, it's also an excellent resource for those of us who might be a little less serious about the sport. Although I've only done a couple of 5K races, I found a lot of the information very relevant: the chapter on nutrition was enlightening and all the pictures in the supplementary training section were very helpful. And finally, I loved all the write-ups on the different runners--they were a nice personal touch, well-written, and inspiring. Thanks to Pete Pfitzinger and Philip Latter for getting me motivated
