Mastering Running 读者评论：

Dr. Cathy Utzschneider has written a masterful book for all Masters runners! From her vantage point as an elite masters runner, coach, teacher and researcher she guides us through the awesome world of Masters running. This groundbreaking volume is written by a woman but addresses both the male and female athlete with their own varying issues and considerations.

Cathy appreciates runners' own experience and knowledge about their sport and provides plans that are flexible, straightforward and easy to follow.

Cathy very effectively correlates with humor and perspective the science and practicalities of the ever growing body of knowledge on Masters running. She helps us navigate this sometimes overwhelming sea of information and distills the most crucial and important elements into manageable segments.

As an athlete myself and one who trains and competes at a high level, I know the tightrope we sometimes walk as masters runners. We have to train assiduously - sometimes very intensely - to achieve the results we want. But at the same time , we must stay healthy and uninjured. Cathy's great book is a companion for us all in realizing that quest.

Mastering Running by Coach Cathy Utzschneider is an informative and helpful book for anyone looking to improve their running performance, from beginners to long-time athletes. It starts out with a great overview of competitive running, how it has evolved, and what is involved in the running scene. The book includes chapters on setting goals, getting faster, and training plans for various race distances. Since this is a book for masters runners (over the age of 40), there is also solid information about aging and running, stretching, and injuries. Throughout the book, there are side-bar interviews with well-known and well-respected runners. Coach Cathy has a wonderful sense of just the right questions to ask in these interviews. I especially liked the one with Amby Burfoot, who talked about the things he has learned and gained from running – connections, courage, the ability to win and the ability to lose, simplicity. We all run for different reasons and with different goals in mind. Coach Cathy’s book is full of advice and instruction that will allow any runner, whatever their skill level or their personal goals, to make the most of their running.
