Setting goals key to finding a weight training program for runners
I was reading the book, “YOU (only faster)”, by Greg McMillan on aspects of running. It is a very detailed book that has programs for serious runners interested in improving their times in races. There are programs for races from the 5K distance to the marathon. It covers almost everything you need to know about training, dieting, rest and recovery, and race preparation. The one portion that interested me is his emphasis on needing to build in rest days. Besselink, in his book, “RunSmart” also emphasized the importance of rest. Both books focus on running faster.
