Summary: Husband is Workout Fanatic
Comment: My husband has motivation to workout everyday and requested a book for Christmas that would help him get faster running and do the right kind of weights before a race and when he is not in the race mode and this book was an answer to his prayers because it has all the right formulas for what he was looking for. EXCELLENT BOOK!!!

Summary: Isn't a book dedicated to running - just generic weight training
Comment: This is not a book on weight training for running - it's just a book on generic weight training. There are two articles in the book on running but are not related to the premise of the book.

I also bought the swimming version. Amazing they're so similar...feel as thought I've fallen into some marketing trap in buying this book.

Would not purchase again. Would recommend Daniel's Running Formula. Feel as though Daniel's Running Formula is on running and this author has experience with such.

Summary: New Edition is Way Better
Comment: I'm a multi sport athlete who trains all year round regardless of what sport I play. I bought a few of these Ultimate Guide to Weight Training books, and they definitely helped me train specifically for the different sports that I play. Then about a year later I received an email from amazon that there was a new edition out. These upgraded editions are even better than the originals, with more articles and a lot more sport-specific information. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who plays a lot of sports or wants to specifically focus on training for one sport in particular.

Summary: Very useful
Comment: After i finished reading this book, i put it in the front of my collection of running books. This is the most functional and practical book i have ever seen on strength training for runners. the tips on how to weight train for muscular endurance are priceless as i'm beginning to see with my longer distances and lower times. this book has earned my recommendation.
