Run Fast: How to Beat Your Best Time--- Every Time Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked up this book after reading Higdon's training plan's online.

The book is mostly a collection of phrases and anecdotes. Granted, Mr Higdon has run successfully for a long time, but there's very little new advice here.

He outlines, in many way, the way he approaches speed work.
But after I read it twice, the only thing I can remember is "don't do too much speedwork" and "vary your training".

I was expecting more advice on form and specific speed workout plans, but I have to look elsewhere.

I think your running will be better if you do it with correct form. But after reading the "other" runner guru Jeff Galloway's book and this one, I can safely say that they don't discuss form that much.

One chapter talks about stretching and drills to improve flexibility, which I found interesting.

The front cover says "training plans for 5K, 10K...". That's not true. There are no training plans in this book. Find them online instead.

I suggest ChiRunning by Danny Dreyer if you want tips on better form.
