Professional Review:
Get in the best shape of your running career with the scientifically based training in Daniels’ Running Formula. In the book that Runner’s World magazine called "the best training book," premier running coach Jack Daniels provides you with his proven VDOT formula to guide you through training at exactly the right intensity to become a faster, stronger runner.

Choose from the red, white, blue, and gold programs to get into shape, target a race program, or regain conditioning after a layoff or injury. Race competitively with programs for 800 meters, 1500 meters to 3000 meters, cross country races, 5K to 15K, and half-marathon up to the marathon. Each program incorporates the right mix of the five training intensities to help you build endurance, strength, and speed, and Daniels’ intensity point system makes it easy to track the time you spend at each level.

The formula can be customized to your current fitness level and the number of weeks you have available for training, and it provides the perfect solution for short training seasons. Get the results you’re seeking every time you lace up your shoes for a training run or race with the workouts and programs detailed in Daniels’ Running Formula.

   Summary: Finally I found it.
I read some books on trainnig, but I had never felt I could make my own trainning plans or make modifications to standard plans. This book gives you the elements to adapt plans to your own goals, no matter you are a new runner or an elite one.
If you want to understand what, when, why and how fast to train, this book will help you.

   Summary: Great book for intermediate marathoners
Just got this book and read it cover to cover. It is a great book for those who want to take marathoning to a new level. Recommended for those who have completed at least one marathon and are striving for a Boston Qualifier or beyond. The training plans in the book accomodate runners who are running around 40 miles per week up to and beyond 70 miles per week. I beleive anyone (fast or slow) who is serious about improving their marathon performance could benefit from the suggestions and research provided in this book.

   Summary: The Next Step
I would recommend this book to those who are ready to take the next step in training and get more serious about running. As noted in other reviews, this is not the book for a beginner or those seeking motivation. The good news is that you don't have to be a fast runner, just someone who is willing to improve and work hard at it. The book teaches you how to design a training program taylored to your ability and also gives you some scientific background to suport the author's formula. It is not an easy read, particularly the discussions on the science, but it is structured in a very logical and concise manner. It is meant to provide the blue print for a runner to design his or her own running program. I think it is well settled in the running community that JD's training methods work. Go to any running website, and discussions of JD's formula or similar formulas abound. Of course, JD's running formula may not be the best training method for you, but the principles discussed in the book are a must read for any serious runner.

   Summary: Science for Running Nerds
If you're a running nerd, or into exercise physiology, or are just wanting to know more about how to effectively train, then this should be in your library. It's a bit technical without putting you to sleep and it's full of great training ideas as well as lots of charts and data to help figure out what pace and how you should train. It has three plans(red, blue and gold) if you want to skip ahead and start training and then figure out why you're doing strides one day and actually resting during the week. Definately worth every penny.

   Summary: Excellent book
This book has something for everyone. It has advanced and beginner topics that had me reading every evening until it was done. I got several tips that will help me in my training.
