Running With the Legends: Training and Racing Insights from 21 Great Runners Review

I would agree with the other reviewers that this is by no means a training manual (ala Daniels or Coe). However, that doesn't change the fact that it is a very enjoyable book to read, covering legends of the past as well as more recent champions. If you are interested in marathoning, this book is particularly good, as most of the runners covered are marathoners.
Whilst the training plans will be of little use, I find this book a great motivator, and that's what every runner needs!

Mind Gym : An Athlete's Guide to Inner Excellence Review

I have just about every book on the topic of sports performance.
I've read others that were more impactful and helpful.
Granted, this book is good if you're just looking for some inspiration that might eventually lead you to results. For immediate results to use on one's game, however, this book isn't it!
As another reviewer said, it's clumsily written. For my hard earned money, I'd like something that I can actually use on my game right away.
If you're a couch potato athlete that only watches a game, this book is probably good. My brother-in-law loves it. He's never played a sport in his life, but is a big fan. For competitive athletes who are more interested in RESULTS and can get their cliches from TV announcers, this book isn't for them.
I'd give it one star, but those who've met the guy seem to like him enough to log onto amazon and write a review. Nothing personal, but I can't give this anything like the rating the others did.
