Training for Young Distance Runners, 2nd Edition
By Larry Greene and Russ Pate
$20.00

Authors Greene (left, top) and Pate have had successful distance-running careers and are now physiology professors at the University of Colorado and the University of South Carolina, respectively. As they point out in the book's introduction, they have based their training advice on scientific research, not on their own intuitions or the training programs of elite runners.

"Excellent teaching tool for young runners and their coaches. A comprehensive guide that goes beyond the basics of how to develop a successful training plan."
— Gina Procaccio, Villanova University's head women's track and field and cross country coach

"Anyone who has ever wondered when to begin, how much to do, and what types of activities should be part of a youth training program will find this to be an up-to-date, thoughtful, and effective guide."
— Don Kardong, Olympic marathoner and Runner's World senior writer
