New Functional Training for Sports
New Functional Training for Sports

Review:This is an outstanding book. Coach Boyle delivers a comprehensive plan for injury prevention through sound training. His resume speaks for itself but the aspect of his career that I appreciate the most is his willingness to remain open to change. He's not so proud to change his ways where science and practice reveal a new direction. This is a great strength and conditioning resource. Read more

The Best Advice to Get Started - and Train for Any Distance

Review:I could not decide between this book and the similarly-titled one by Claire Kowalski so I actually went to the bookstore and spent some time flipping through them both. They both seem very good and well-informed, but the Kowalski book is definitely geared more toward beginners (in tone, mostly, but also in content). I am looking to move from beginner to intermediate level running and found that this book fit my needs much better. This one I think is also good for beginners, but the Kowalski b... Read more
