Editorial Reviews:

Make your workouts count with the breakthrough system that synchronizes your energy levels with training effort. Instead of fighting your body to finish a workout just because it’s written on the calendar, choose the most effective workouts from 5K and 10K Training based on your body’s capacity to perform at any given time.

Effort-based training maximizes training adaptation by matching the goal of each workout with its optimal training level: hard when energy and recovery are high and easy when stress or recovery is low. Effort-based training also gives you the most control over the training process, allowing you to stay injury free while actually increasing the energy you have available for workouts. Sample programs contain a variety of schedules and detailed workouts for developing five race-specific abilities.

Run stronger and faster with more energy by using the proven system in 5K and 10K Training. With customized programs to choose from and accompanying training logs to record and evaluate your progress, this unique system is the fastest way to reach your training goals.

Summary: Useless book.
Comment: I agree with other reader about lack of any scientific backing of author's claims. He is going on and on about your "energy" and doesn't give you any actual advices about running.

Summary: Don't Waste Your Money On This Book
Comment: So exactly how much research has the author actually performed on 5K and 10K training?

"Many readers have asked me whether I research my books. I don't research them as much as I think about how to solve various problems. My thinking is inseparable from my writing and I NEVER (emphasis added) research what others have said on a topic while I'm writing."

Swear to God, the above quote is the first paragraph in the author's Acknowledgemnts.

That self-acknowledged lack of research will immediately become painfully obvious to even the most casual 5K or 10K runner who somehow happens to be unfortunate enough to accidently purchase this book.

Don't do it.

Summary: Superb
Comment: I've read every popular book on training for distance runners since 1970 - and many that were published before that. I worked at Runner's World 1972-76; I mention this only because I hope it will lend weight to what I'd like to say about Brian Clarke's <5K and 10K Training>: simply, that it's the best book on the subject I've ever read. No one has talked intelligently about training from the perspective of how a runner during his/her workouts. Clarke does this wonderfully well, with relaxed and thorough common sense. Most books on training are much too broad - the training programs they offer make sense, but they don't tell you how to adjust them to your specific, individual needs - which change continually according to your present level of fitness, fatigue, sleep patterns, diet, the weather, etc. Clarke explains, with unprecedented clarity, how to take any program, including his, and put your body's needs in first place. As he explains, this is extremely important, because not to do so - applying rigid training plans regardless of your body's messages - is the fastest way to get in trouble. This is a great, modest, readable, extremely helpful book. Thanks, Brian.
