Agreed about Canova. Also works as a good summary of the Hadd and Cabral threads about training slow twitch versus fast twitch runners. Like a lot of runners/coaches, I feel like I can train athletes who are like me (or like I was, as an old guy now), meaning slow-twitch, but I struggle a bit with adjusting the training appropriately for the fast-twitch types. I've read the "two types of runners" Hadd and Cabral thread more than once to try to reinforce those ideas. For me, then, this book is a really good summary with concrete examples of how to individualize training for each event for different kinds of runners.I do think the editing is weak (not just punctuation/grammar, but organization), but to anyone reading this thread: Buy this book! I think it's an excellent book, and don't want the editing comments to detract from that message. Steve, if you happen across this thread, congratulations as the general consensus on here seems to be that you've produced a really good book (just please tidy it up on round 2).Having said all that, I can't help but post this sentence that I read in my Kindle edition just minutes after I posted my earlier comment on this thread (I've since finished the book): "If you feel supper bouncy, you're tension is probably high." ("supper"? "you're"?) Steve or publisher should pay some college English major $200 to read the book and find the mistake on each page. But content is there!

The training portion is in some ways the best write-up you will find of everything Renato Canova has posted.
