Run Faster from the 5K to the Marathon
By Brad Hudson (Author), Matt Fitzgerald (Author)

Product Description Do you want to run faster? Are you trying to peak for a particular race? Would you like to find your true running potential? Brad Hudson, former Olympic Trials marathoner and current coach to Olympians like Dathan Ritzenhein, will show you the way in this practical, reader-friendly guide.

Becoming your own best coach is the ticket to running faster at any distance.
