I hope this book takes off for Steve!

From Spiked Up, Ready to Run, Olympic Trials 2008:

"We all got to the line; the last race of the Olympic Trials. The scene was fantastic; they really did a great job for the trials in Eugene. The stands were packed, the announcer was blaring and the crowd was roaring. Watching the finals of the 800 a week before was amazing. I had never heard a louder track crowd before in my life and never wanted to be in a race as much as I wanted to be in that one either. It was all very cool, and now it was my time to race. I was hoping they would get out fast and I could get in the top pack on a line..." ~ Steve Sherer

re: 125 percent

It seems that a guy who ran 3:56.0 & 3:36.81 might have a few things to say about how to train for the mile/1500

Sherer is an interesting character. Will be fascinating to see what he has to say.

re: jage off

I just ordered the book from B&N, it was close to $30+, but heck here is a real sub-four guy writing a training book, if the book is great let's support the sport & this athlete for his efforts.

re: Jzs

Sherer is best known as a 3:56 miler who rabbits now and he wants $30 for a book? Better to go $10-15 and get better volume

re: wrong idea

Me thinks good book, lots of errors (no more than Toby Tansor's Fire), but I gave the guy my $30 any how.

re: rubzelites

Is Sherer that guy who was one of the world's top milers but broke his ankle warming up for the 1500 US Oly Trials final, only to attempt to qualify four years later in pursuit of a woman and in an attempt to outrun a young up and comer?

If so, it should make for a great read.
