Running has become one of the growth sports of the past decade. However, certain questions are asked: How can I run faster? How much training should I do? What about that pain in my leg? Cliff Temple answered many of these questions in his books "Challenge of the Marathon" and "Cross Country and Road Running". These have now been updated and incorporated into one volume. This volume contains training schedules, injury advice, anecdotes and historical perspectives, together with hundreds of other tips, which will be useful whether the runner is a complete novice, or an experienced runner. The author has coached athletes for the Olympic Games, the world and European Championships, the Commonwealth Games and the World Cross-Country Championships. In addition, he has been Athletics Correspondent for the "Sunday Times" since 1969. This book will be of use to distance runners of any standard, as well as their coaches and officials.
