Summary: good for performance oriented walkers
Comment: This book is excellent for those who want to either walk for exercise or want to walk for sport (i. e., races). There are many excellent photos which describe proper walking technique and common technique errors.

There is also a section on racewalking and what to expect at official judged racewalks.

This book should fit the needs of either powerwalkers or novice racewalkers.

Summary: Terse yet padded
Comment: This book is informative but confused in its focus. It purports to be for those who want to walk fast but not race, but spends almost half its pages on training techniques (and endless charts for you to fill in) best suited for racers. Its descriptions of stride and gait are clearest if you have read other books already and understand the concepts. It is best used to supplement a trainer and not as a stand-alone guide. If you want to learn the basics, start somewhere else. That being said, what it does do, it does well. If you have learned the basics of walking and want a workout and not just a walk, this is the book for you. If you want to improve your walking endurance or speed, this book will help.

Summary: A great book from the basics to the advanced.
Comment: I really enjoyed this book and give to aspiring walkers. It really makes a nice connection from "walking" to Racewalking.
