Odd Book
I write odd because it is not an easy book to categorise. "Training Secrets", forget it; it's been a while since I read it but I can't remember any secrets. Some of the race tactics are good, though hardly applicable to me. Some of the photos are good. There's a lack of standardisation through the chapters; some of the formatting of the schedules is dire and makes it too hard to work out what they were doing.It's a nice historical summary of Kenyan running but has a slightly amateurish feel to it.

Nothing revolutionary
This book provides a great history of Kenyan distance running and for those wishing to understand that side of things a great purchase. Whilst it does give a basic overview of training schedules of verious top athletes, it's not particularly detailed.An ejoyable book, but if you want to improve your running, there are much much better books available.
