Customer Reviews

I checked this out from the library and I am undecided if I want to actually own it or not. I loved this. I love Hal's writing. Yes, it's simple and almost like sitting around a campfire and listening to a guy who has done and seen so much tell you all about it, but that's exactly why I love it. It's different from straight up hard physiology and science like others might be (Hanson's, Run Less Run Faster, etc.) but both types have their place. He takes insight and research from some of the world's best and puts it in one place along with examples and stories from real people. If that's far from what you're hoping to read then no, this might not be the book for you. The plans are available online, yes, but I appreciated the explanation, however straightforward it may seem to veterans. Most valuable, the step by step at the end on how to modify/create your own plan. I have read Run Fast and will be reading How to Train Next.
