About this listen

Learn how to run faster, unlock your potential, and reach peak performance with training advice from a former Olympic trials marathoner and coach to Olympians like Dathan Ritzenhein.

Hudson is the most innovative running coach to come along in a generation. Until now, only a handful of elite athletes have been able to benefit from his methods. Now Run Faster from the 5K to the Marathon shows all runners how to coach themselves as confidently and effectively as Brad coaches his world-class athletes. Becoming your own best coach is the ticket to running faster at any distance.

First you will learn to assess your abilities. Then you’ll learn how to devise a training program specifically geared to you. Filled with easy-to-follow sample training programs for distances ranging from the 5K to the marathon and abilities ranging from novice to advanced, Run Faster is the cutting-edge guide for optimal performance.

With Hudson’s guidance, you can train smarter and more effectively—and avoid injury. And you’ll soon be running faster than you ever thought possible!

Missing all the tables

The content of this book seemed good & the narration was fine, but the PDF only came with the training plans, not all the information in the other tables. This was more of a problem because the content of the tables wasn't even read out. The narrator would say what was covered in the table generally - but not read the contents. Then, in many cases, the following information required you to know what was in the table. An example was a table with how to tell if you were lacking base fitness, strength or specific fitness. Then, depending on what you were lacking it had methods to resolve it... but I have no idea what's in the table to determine what I'm lacking. This wasn't just once or twice, but in every chapter of the book. I was very dissappointed and I've returned the book.

Almost unusable

Missing so many tables in the Chap 4 on Muscle Training as to be unusable.
Also, the narrator is clear and punchy, but emphasises Everything, so difficult to get any sense of what to take away. With no pauses to let an audio 'reader' understand the numerical training patterns.
Chap 4 has a lot of vague repetitions.
I doubt I will bother with eBook version either - a later book is making more sense to me.
How do I get my credit back?
