What it looks like:

Why you should buy?


I hate doing the “sales” thing. But one of the reasons I’m asking readers, who are interested, to buy the book is because I’m passionate about it. I poured as much knowledge as I could into this book, and did not hold back. It’s the result of a multiyear process. I give away tons of free information on this blog, so this is one way of earning a small bit back to keep the blog going.

Beyond that, my biased opinion is that it’s a unique book. If nothing else, I promise you that this book will make you think and ultimately be a better coach, scientist, or athlete.

To sweeten the deal, I’m giving away some rewards. I’ve delved into my collection of information compiled throughout the years and pulled out some gems. I’m offering my go to training documents, notes I’ve compiled, exclusive training logs of world class athletes, and even a Skype conversation if you want to talk running. These are only good for purchases within the next 48 hours though, so keep that in mind.

What people are saying about it?
“The Science of Running sets the new standard for training theory and physiological data. Every veteran and beginner distance coach needs to have this on their book shelf.”

-Alan Webb
American Record Holder-Mile 3:46.91

“For anyone serious about running, The Science of Running offers the latest information and research for optimizing not only your understanding of training but also your performance. If you want to delve deeper into the world of running and training, this book is for you. You will never look at running the same.”

-Jackie Areson, 15th at the 2013 World Championships in the 5k. 15:12 5,000m best

Spread the word:
Given how much time and passion I put in to writing this book, I really want it to be a success, so please spread the word on twitter, Facebook, or just good old fashioned word of mouth. Also, after finishing the book, please write a review on Amazon.  It all helps, thanks!

      hi Steve, I bought the Kindle edition and there appears to be an error on page in "The Slow Twitch versus the Fast Twitch model". Both charts are "Slow Twitch Runners" with no mention of the "Fast twitch runners". would you be able to provide the correct chart here?

    4. Trail Running Dad on February 19, 2014 at 9:19 pm

      Aw shucks, you just jumped past Goodnight Moon on the Amazon Bestseller list. My son will be most distraught to hear this!

      Seriously, this looks great. I'm really looking forward to getting this in the mail soon. Congrats on the Herculean efforts that went into pulling this together.

      I've just bought one kindle copy and thank you very much for your reward.

      Here is the Fast twitch table for the ebook (hard copy is fine, it just messed up in translating to ebook). I have also corrected in ebook, so should be good now. Thanks for letting me know!
