Which training book should I buy?

There isn't one book that will cover that range. But for 5k-half:

Daniels' Training Formula v2

For the marathon you can't miss with Advanced Marathoning.

The book is not out at the market yet! :)

Thank you for the advice. I'll have to give those a look.

Road Racing for Serious Runners

I think of what the best name will be......

"The smart way to the top" or

" Run your individual top performance" or

"Fly to your highest levels"

......many options. :)

This would be considered cheating in a road race. Jet packs are illegal.

I was about to suggest this, also. I have the 1999 edition. Do you know if there were later updates? It does cover 5K through the marathon, with a chapter on cross-country, as well. (Pete Pfitzinger and Scott Douglas)

As I recall, many of the schedules alternated vO2max and lactate threshold workouts, week to week. I had great success modifying the plans to a nine-day "week" so I could include vO2max and LT workouts in EVERY 9-day "week". The only trade-off was that the long runs and "secondary long runs" were every nine days instead of every seven days. I actually found that to be a good thing.

"Low mileage, high performance"

I second my Hebraic brother's nomination of Daniels' Running Formula, 2nd edition.

Unless you self-publish it, your publisher may have final say on the title.

Seeing how your threads here are disappearing, is there somewhere else where one can see the concepts behind your training methodology? Or a sample marathon training plan? Thanks.

When I set up a thread here the mods emidietly delete the thread. Superior coaching is not allowed here,haha! :)

You ae welcome to Facebook and my group there. :)

Can't you just stop already? You destroy nearly every thread these days.

What have you added to this thread beyond self-promotion? You don't even have a book, yet you continuously post on this string about your coaching, without talking about any books. Your "system" is supposedly a hybrid of Daniels and Canova's approach. Why wouldn't you simply recommend their work and move on rather than prattling on about yourself?

How to get higher: training for PRs

Growing a garden of successful running: weed out performance inconsistencies

The big day: "pot"ting it all together into a PR performance. How to optimally relax

It is not a "hybrid" of Daniels and Canova`s approach! It is a new approach with mostly Daniels paces and the long time forgotten approach of the great coaches Gerschler and Stanpfl. To this I add the ideas about the fast long run or fast parts of the long run by Canova and some special stuff with my own invented speciality.

My coaching is the same as Canova`s when it comes to long term plans.

We don`t set up long term plans. We coach week by week.

We differ when it comes to phases. I don`t use phases. I coach with the same low mileage structure week by week and year around. The most important part in my coaching is to develop the runners capacity in the 3 most important factors for the result, maxVO2-pace, threshold-pace and the very best aerobic pace. To this adds also the very important recovery and the runner rests completely one day in the week.

COACH J.S

I still think you are a hack.

Of the worst sort.
