I’ve been asked my opinion of this book by a few folks.

I think it’s pretty good.  Hmm, you probably want a bit more than that I’m guessing!

Let’s see I liked it enough that after getting it out at the library I went and bought it so that I would have my own copy.  It’s a good read with some great tips and training strategies.

I think it is pitched at the beginner runner rather than at the serious runner who is trying to improve.  As such, it suits me just fine as most of the tips I’ve read have been new and helpful.

I think the way the training programs are laid out are a little confusing but after pondering them for a while I’ve figured them out.

I really like the way the book focuses on what you should be doing at different periods of your training.  Most programs start off just doing a bit of easy base building, then strength, speed and lastly you get to focus on race craft. The race craft bits were what I found the most helpful to be honest.

I think it’s a good buy if you are starting out but probably a bit too basic if you have been competing for a while.
