I have read the book and honestly wish I could get the time I spent reading it back.
It's not that it's a *bad* book, it's just that there is absolutely nothing new in it.
Here is a summary: When you first begin running follow a training plan that resonates with you. After a few years of experimentation, find what works for you and develop a plan based on intuition and trial and error.
Most runners I know already do this anyways.
Honestly, I thought it was a waste of time.

I read it, and set a 10K PR by over 35 seconds about 2 months later. The mental aspect of training and racing was not all there for me until I read this book, but then again I am not on an Olympic team like every other poster on this site.
Not looking for earth-shattering. Just curious how it might impact (going for the big stereotype...)the Garmin-type need to "know" precise distances/never deviate from the plan/overthinks during races type.
The problem with running how you feel is this - The job of the coach is to manipulate the body to perform when it should. Your body should feel good after proper recovery and should not feel good after a more intense workout.
Running how you feel is great for the rec runner, but for competitive runners it is the wrong approach.
