If you are interested in the theory behind training for distance running, Daniels' Running Formula has a good introduction. Noakes' Lore of Running has some more detailed information.

No problem. :)

You might also enjoy this book, it goes in more detail than the article.

There is also an out of print (I think) book by Arthur Lydiard that is really good. And for that matter, I am not sure I linked the correct Bill Squires book. One is really good, while the other is an awful, watered-down version.

I have a pretty similar background. I ran in high school, then DIII in college, quit running for many years, got back to it as a pre-masters/masters runner. People kept asking me questions, so I started coaching for free. Then on a spare weekend, I got certified as a USATF level 1 coach, which is really fun. I really recommend it, since you're a T&F fan.

u/dugfin · 3 pointsr/running

for someone wanting to become a serious coach I'd personally recommend Lore of Running by Tim Noakes

This week, run 30 miles total this week.
Next week, if you race on Saturday, do 10k sunday, 8k mon, 5k tue. nothing wed. thur. friday

check out page 653 Lore of Running you should be doing NOTHING hard until your race. Can't stress this enough.

u/Justinthevaginy · 3 pointsr/running

Lore of running is go to book at the moment

Its more of a bible of everything you wanted to know about running, besides just a how to guide. Written by a practicing medical doctor, he goes into such depths that you can take guidelines from any book (including his own), and fine tune them to be perfect. Only possible when everything from how the muscles work to altitude training myths are explained to you hard evidence.

u/zorkmids · 2 pointsr/running

The brain relies primarily on blood glucose that is maintained by liver glycogen stores. The muscles rely on glycogen stored in the muscles and fatty acids from stores in both the muscles and the liver. At high exercise intensity, about 90% of energy comes from glycogen and 10% from fat. That ratio drops to 50/50 at low aerobic intensity levels.

According to the "central governor" model, the brain stops recruiting muscle fibers when liver glycogen is depleted, preventing coma (and heart failure). Check out Noakes' Lore of Running for an extensive discussion.

The Lore of Running is an incredibly comprehensive overview of running written by a professor of sports science. A lot of it builds off of his scientific research and as a runner I found it to be a a great read.

The Perfection Point This is written by the co-creator of Sports Science on ESPN. I took it out of the library a while ago and haven't actually read it yet but it seems to be a pretty interesting read about the boundaries of human athletic performance.

If you haven't heard of Noakes, get lore of running. Seriously, buy it now. It is without a doubt the best book ever written on running. It also goes into great detail on the subject of hydration, which Noakes is an expert on. Some of his work is perhaps a bit new to be found in mainstream coaching and sports medicine textbooks, but it should be. Particularly relevant here is his research on exercise-associated hyponatremia (here's a good review) - the important lesson is that drinking too much can be just as bad as not drinking enough, and the body is generally pretty good at knowing when to hydrate. Here's a good summary of Noakes' advice.

u/901191 · 1 pointr/AdvancedRunning

If you’re a fan of sweat elite, I could also recommend you look to the NOP (I know, unpopular opinion) training logs, it’s quite the opposite. Their sample week is something like . Additionally, training for a marathon, and training more specifically for 10-mi and down are two different things.

Also, the easy pace isn’t an indicator of race performance, obviously. It’s an indicator of ability to handle work volume (see Daniels , Hansons , Heinonen & Heinonen , Fixx , and especially Noakes ), which actually supports your statement about the intersection between speed and endurance (threshold runs, tempo-oriented intervals, etc - is at least what I’m assuming you’re talking about).

Furthermore, as I stated in an above comment, this is casual pace. I could tape a one-person podcast at these paces. Granted, because I’m running the audio quality wouldn’t be that great; but these paces feel like a trot. I’m painfully bored, and barely exerting. I’m never above an 11RPE on the 6-20 scale.

Thank you for the notes and article recommendation, though.

Calories certainly matter in a healthy individual, but if there is any sort of metabolic derangement(hyperinsuliemia, insulin resistance, or anything else that falls under metabolic syndrome/ syndrome X) all bets are off.

http://www.amazon.com/Good-Calories-Bad-Gary-Taubes/dp/1400040787 or Taubes more accessible http://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Fat-Borzoi/dp/0307272702/ref=pd_sim_b_1 are a good jumping off point, although these subjects can get much more complicated than what Taubes presents.

As far as athletic performance in glycogen depleting(running, cycling, Cross-fit, soccer, etc.) activities and carb intake goes, it can certainly help. Although in one study runners partipiated in a sub-maximal(<%70 Vo2/max) effort to exhaustion. There was no difference in the group who consumed a high fat/protein low carb diet and partipiated in a fasted state and the group who followed a more traditional low fat/high carb diet and were able to eat during the test. (sorry don't have a link, but it can be found in Noakes http://www.amazon.com/Lore-Running-4th-Timothy-Noakes/dp/0873229592/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1300301225&sr=1-1)

Here's a good place to start if you want to learn about different types of training and adaptation. It also has a good calculator that will help you determine the best paces to run to see improvements in specific areas.

http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/training1.htm

From here, if you want to learn more, you should check out a book or two. I haven't read it, but Daniels' Running Formula gets great reviews. I have started reading Noakes Lore of Running, which is a thick tome of research findings and exercise physiology, combined with the experiences of the author and a number of experienced athletes. It will take a while to get through it and internalize everything, but I don't think you can do much better than those two books if you really want to learn how to get faster.

Lore of Running has a great marathon training schedule.

Dr Tim Noakes literally wrote the book on the science of running, and advocated a high carb diet, until he got diabetes and went on to fully endorse a low carb lifestyle... and got in trouble for it.
