About the Author
Richard L. Brown, PhD, is a veteran coach and exercise physiologist. He has mentored championship runners at all ages, from high school to masters, and at all levels, from novice runners to Olympic athletes and world champions.

Brown has served as a personal coach to an impressive list of world-class athletes, including Shelly Steely, Suzy Favor Hamilton, Vicki Huber, and Mary Decker Slaney. He is particularly known for guiding Slaney to her double gold medals at the 1983 Helsinki World Championships. He is one of few people to have coached athletes in both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games as well as the Paralympics. He has coached athletes in six recent Olympic Games and Olympic Trials.

Brown began his career in 1963 as a three-sport coach at Bullis Preparatory School in Maryland. He continued at the United States Naval Academy, at Mt. Blue High School in Maine, and then with the Athletics West track team as a director and exercise physiologist. In 1983, Brown was head coach of the U.S. World Championship cross country team, and he has been coaching independently ever since. He has been recognized by USA Track and Field as a master coach.

Brown earned his doctorate in exercise and movement sciences from the University of Oregon in 1992. In addition to serving as lead author of two previous editions of Fitness Running, he has been published in multiple peer-reviewed journals on health and fitness. He is in demand as a speaker and clinician on issues related to running and fitness.

In 2001, Brown founded the Eugene Health and Performance Foundation to promote fitness and running performance internationally. He continues to be associated with that foundation while living in Eugene, Oregon.

Fitness Running 读者评论:

FITNESS RUNNING is a well-written, comprehensive introduction to running, whether your are running just for fitness, or for racing. In the early sections, Dr. Brown explains the various type of equipment and clothing that you should consider when starting this sport. For example, he explains the different styles of running shoe, and the difference style of insoles that are appropriate, given your foot type.

For me, the most fascinating section is where the author explains the science of Vo2-max measurement. Prior to reading this book, I sort of had an idea what that meant, but the doctor gives the actual scientific explanation. The author also explains an easy way to estimate your vo2-max. One method is a running test called the "Cooper 12 minute run test." I had not heard of this test before, but it's really easy - you see how far you can run in exactly 12 minutes. Knowing that, you can estimate your Vo2-max. This gives you an idea on where you should start with your running regimen. Should you start very slowly, or are you really ready for training for half marathons?

Another excellent section covered is the warm up and cool down regimen. The author includes extensive illustrations and descriptions of what is good for warm up exercises and cool down exercises. Another valuable section is the section on running drills. The author includes various simple exercises to improve your running form.

The latter part of the book contains extensive plans for training. For example, if you're planning to run a 5k race, Chapter 14 is for you. It's called "Short Race Training," and includes week by week and day by day training to get you ready for running that 5k or 10k race. In another chart, the author shows a goal for what percentage of Vo2-max you should achieve during your training.

All in all, FITNESS RUNNING is an excellent introduction to the sport. I enjoyed reading the book, and learned a lot about warm-up and proper running form.
