A fast read, great for the off season. I learned stuff and was able to implement with my high school team that fall. Probably smart to reread every summer.

Good book with suggestions for training runs and activities. Informative and filled with technical terms. Not the most appropriate for modified XC, but I will adjust accordingly.
