As far as moderate success goes, Ritz was with him until just a few weeks before he broke 13. I think the book is thorough, thoughtful, excellent on energy systems, how to keep them all in play, and bridging race pace and speed endurance so as to peak well. My question is, is reading so problematic for you that you hestitate to undertake judging a book for yourself? Do as everyone else does: give an author ten or twenty pages to convince you it's worthwhile continuing. To minimize possiblity of spending money and regretting it,check it out from the library, or go to B&N or whatever brick and mortar retailer is still in business and sit with it for 10 minutes. You might even find it on Amazon, where you can often look inside and read a few pages. I usually give it a quick review before every season, as I do with Daniels.

If you are a serious coach or self coached athlete you should read all the published books. Every single one. Its definitely worth the 15 or 20 bucks. Brad is a life long student of the sport.
He probably has absorbed as much information on distance running in the last 25 years as anyone else. There is no magic formula.
I tried to base my coaching of 800 runners based on Joe Vigil's simple, poorly edited book. 9 mile tempo runs were impossible for most of the guys I coached and was a waste of time. You read as much as you can. Read it all and learn. • • jjjjjjj • • RE: Is Brad Hudson's book worth the read? 12/9/2011 8:25PM - in reply to • jjjjjjj •.
Having only moderate success means that he has had success. How many people have you coached? Ms Word 2003 Free Download Full Version For Windows 8 more. How many people have you coached that have gone on to run well? I have to agree with the poster above, who said that you should read everything published. As a coach, I read anything related to the sport and try and get as much information as I can out of it. Not everyone has the opportunity to coach athletes like Renato, so we have to work with what we have.

But, the big thing I learned from the Hudson book was incorporating race pace (RP) & goal pace (GP) training into my workouts. Below is an example, off the top of my head, of a progression of goal pace racing (done once a week along with your other workouts/training) leading up to race day. Week 1: 5 X 1000 @ GP w/ 3:00 rest Week 2: 5 X 1000 @ GP w/ 2:30 rest Week 3: 5 X 1000 @ GP w/ 2:00 rest Week 4: 5 X 1000 @ GP w/ 1:30 rest Week 5: 5 X 1000 @ GP w/ 1:00 rest Week 6: Race Pick-up the book! It's worth it! (If you're cheap, I think you can learn a lot from his web site, his interviews on runningtimes.com, etc.) • • sdmiler1 • • RE: Is Brad Hudson's book worth the read? 8:55AM - in reply to • sdmiler1 •. Yes the book is more than worth what you will pay for it.
I have training books from Dellinger, Pfitz, Daniels, Salazar among others and Brad's book is more than worthy among them. I was in a marathon rut and using Brad's level 3 marathon program, I knocked 10 minutes off what I had been running the past few years at October's Amsterdam Marathon. Not a PR, but I am a lot older and a bit heavier then when I set my marathon PB 16 years ago.
