Running: Testing Yourself
Description
For runners and walkers who want to improve, Running -Testing Yourself offers programs and practical tips to go farther, go faster, while enjoying exercise more than ever. Olympian Jeff Galloway offers detailed advice on how to build the length of a run or walk without injury -and run faster. Inside Running -Testing Yourself, you'll find specific training programs for fitness test distances used by law enforcement and military organizations. There's plenty of practical advice in the areas of nutrition, running form, special sports drinks, motivation, avoiding aches and pains, and lots more. Jeff Galloway, based in Atlanta, Georgia, was an average teen age runner who kept learning and working harder, until he became an Olympian. He is the author of the best-selling running book in North America and a Runner's World columnist, as well as an inspirational speaker to over 200 running and fitness sessions each year. Jeffs quest for the injury-free marathon training program led him to develop group training programs in 1978.
