The Art of Running Faster 读者评论：

I think that this is one of the most useful training books to appear in many, many years.

Julian Goater is well known in the UK as one of our best ever distance runners. He was within fifteen seconds of the world 10,000m record at his best in 1982, but is perhaps best known for what may have been the most dramatic "peak race" in UK running history, when he won the National Cross Country against a top class field by almost two minutes in 1981. He's also a very smart guy, and has gone on to learn while working as a coach, sports massage therapist and world-class Masters duathlete. I've heard him speak on several occasions and had been eagerly awaiting this book, which has exceeded my expectations.

The majority of training manuals start with some semi-academic principles of periodisation and physiology then dive into detailed schedules for different distances. This is completely different. Sets, reps and mileage figures are only a minor part of the book - indeed, the obligatory 'schedules' chapter is just five pages long, showing typical weeks from the 10-15 mile per week level up to a marathon schedule. Each of the 13 chapters covers something you can put into practice very quickly that might help you to run a bit faster. Some of the key ideas I would pick out are:

* Attitude. Julian believes that competing is fun, exciting and natural at all levels and there are plenty of strategies to help fan the flames. Yes, it's perfectly acceptable for forty-somethings to get psyched up to outkick that teenager just in front in the local parkrun.

Reviewed by Rob Cameron (former Scottish international and North of England Road & XC team manager)

If there was one word that could be used to describe this book it's `accessible'. The book is written in such a manner that anyone, elite athlete, beginner, coach, aspiring coach or PE teacher could use it to support the development of any running programme.
What I particularly liked about the book is the way Julian uses his vast experience both anecdotally and professionally to advise the reader of how to build up a programme, how to sustain performance and indeed improve performance, as well as looking at how to avoid, protect oneself from injury.
Julian makes running fun and uses his knowledge of the art of running and the key principles of the importance of hill training and cross country tradition which I remember fondly as how I got started and introduces us to how we can begin to shape performance through running technique and the essentials of stretching.
Throughout the book, you can glimpse the highlights or top tips; these allow the reader to succinctly put in prospective the chapters and give practical advice.
It's refreshing to read a book which reflects my principles to running fast, as a young athlete my success was honed on many of Julian's text, particularly on the need to stretch and improve one's cadence. He does this through key points, how to and coaching points ending each chapter with a key summary.
If you are new to running or an experienced coach you can't but see beauty in this new addition to the running library, I recommend it to anyone involved in the sport which gave such great athletes as Julian himself.
Thanks, this is a text book I will use time and time again, as a dad (to 2 aspiring athletes), team manager and school teacher.
