Running Training Plan
Well, we think so.
The first list is books we've read, so we know how good they are and confidently
recommend them to you.
The second list have been recommended by others (we've read some of these
too).
Born
to Run -- Christopher McDougall
Quite possibly, and very probably, the most thought-provoking and radical
book on running ever published. Full of ideas that should be common sense,
but aren't because of the brainwashing we've been subjected to.
Hard to believe? Read the book and decide.
Feet
in the Clouds -- Richard Askwith
Inspirational view into an alternative running world that few of us know
about and fewer still have experienced. If you've ever thought about a fell
run (and we should all do at least one), you must read this. A book about
real runners and enjoying the landscape to the full. This book is hard to
put down.
Running
High -- Hugh Symonds
Inspiring, entertaining and almost unbelievable.
The story of how a fell-runner ran over all the 3000ft peaks in Scotland,
England, Wales and Ireland (and the bits in between, totaling 2000 miles),
in just 97 days.
Lore
of Running - Tim Noakes
It's a heavyweight for sure, some people call it the running bible, and others
call it the biggest and best running book ever. It is a fascinating read
and a very useful reference that covers the subject of running and especially
endurance running in great detail. There are inspiring short biographies
of many of the great runners together with great advice and science for both
new and experienced runners.
