101 Developmental Concepts & Workouts for Cross Country Runners provides sound training advice for runners of all levels. Divided into two parts; Part 1 presents 30 training concepts to help guide the cross country runner and coach. These concepts lay the groundwork for the 71 workouts included in Part 2, which include variations and coaching points where appropriate. In this book, Dr. Karp has done a fantastic job of connecting the research with the practical application for cross country runners, explaining the basics of the science of distance running in a language that everyone can understand.
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.
