Thorough description of his 'adaptive' approach to training distance runners. A lot of it is similar to what others prescribe -- maybe the most distinctive features are (a) keep training volume high year-round, even though you lower intensity at times, so that you're not in a position of having to increase volume and intensity at the same time, which elevates injury risk; (b) steady diet of short all-out hill sprints, which he favors relative to weight training as a way to build running-specific..more

Brad Hudson's book, Run Faster, is a guide for how to coach yourself. It emphasizes very specific training methods, but tells runners when to adapt the plan and exactly how to make the adaptations. The book strikes an excellent balance between telling the reader exactly what to do, and explaining how to be flexible. The author spells out 18 detailed training plans that cover all the typical race distances and runners of different ability levels. However, these plans are at the end of the book so..more
LOTS of great information, probably more than totally necessary for average joe-schmoe me. Really drives in the ways to be a good advocate and coach for yourself and methods to take your running to the next level. Definitely gave me a boost to put my best foot forward during my speed work run this morning and great ideas for flushing out the rest of my training plan for the year.

I should've taken some notes while reading. Read this on and off so don't remember too much from the earlier chapters. Came away with an alright feeling. Very focused on 'here's how you can coach yourself if you were me'. His big ones seem to be hill sprints, workouts at race pace, and more hills. Might come back to the earlier chapters to take some proper notes.
Former-runner-turned-running-coach Brad Hudson details his coaching technique in 'Run Faster'. Hudson's team, based in beautiful Eugene, trains in his adaptive running technique, which is intimately detailed in 'Run Faster'. Hudson offers a handful of training maxims, but the strength of his program is not in rules but in the flexibility of training that leads to adaptive success. Contrary to many programs for runners on the market, adaptive running encourages you to find what works for you as a..more

I don't know whether to put this as 'read' or 'currently-reading', because I keep picking it up and re-reading bits of it. I have been incorporating the principles outlined in this book into my training for about three weeks now, and (so far) I love it. What I love about it is that it is not a 'do this exactly this way' program, but 'here are the principles to build your program on' program. Maybe it requires more thought than the running programs which tell you exactly how far and how hard to r..more

B+ Some good stuff if you want to coach running or really train seriously; a lot of the stuff gets VERY technical and formulaic and it doesn't seem geared towards the average runner. I'm an obsessive runner and found it a bit much at times. Some great workout ideas and information.
May 09, 2010Pete Danko rated it really liked it
Like all of co-writer Matt Fitzgerald's work, a great strength of this book is its solid research. The big takeaway I had was that by learning the sport and my own running, it's possible—in fact, necessary—to build a unique program that works for me.
Great concepts, boring read. I'd like to just transplant all the info into my head without having to read it. I do like the ideas he presents about making your own plan however.

Solid for establishing a rigorous training program although it'd funny how he emphasizes adaptive running in the beginning and how everyone is unique with no one program working for everyone..and then he proceeds to give very detailed descriptions of what every program should have. I wouldn't take everything he says as gospel. For example he doesn't believe in any sort of strength training outside of hills and proposes a rather confusing array of complex workouts when I think keeping it simple,..more

This book contains a lot of information about how to self-coach yourself to improve your running. If you look around in the internet you will find all kind of recommendations, which can quickly become overwhelming. Therefore I really liked the adaptive training approach. It focuses on a few base blocks that universally work for almost everyone and in addition offers tuning advises so that you can reach peak performance at the desired distance.

A friend recommended this book. I was hoping for more information for the senior runner. Chapter 11 was good, but it was short and only partially focused on the 55+ runner. However, I believe the principles taught in the book can be applied to runners of all ages. You will just have to be your own coach. I'm going to keep looking for a book that has more specific advice and training plans for older runners.

This book was a little more advanced than what I was expecting. Definitely geared towards people who are already near the pro level. It also felt like most of the advice could be summarized in a magazine article- do hill sprints, increase your mileage, etc. That being said, there were a lot of nice training plan options included if you have a lot of time to devote to running.
I liked the book a lot and it is full of useful advice but I think that most of it was for someone much more experienced with running than I am. If you are just starting out, maybe look for something simpler at first.
The training philosophy seems very solid and the book is presented in a clear, logical way. The writing is better than I have seen in other running books.
I am excited to apply some of the recommended methods/techniques to my own training in the coming years.

A classic book on how to self-coach, filled with great advice. Not so sure on the advice for master's runners though (run only 3 x per week and cross-train).

A very different approach to the traditional methods of running. Not everything might work for you but it offers a lot of things that can be incorporated in your running.
I've been a runner for 20+ years at the high school, college, and sub-elite road racing level, but this book truly taught me about the foundations of running fitness. I read it at the recommendation of a few former college teammates. Brad Hudson's aim is to give runners the tools they need to become their own best coach. I will keep it around and refer to it often as I build my own training programs.
Brad Hudson trains some of the top marathoners in the world and his book is the most approachable one I have read for marathon runners of all levels that still gives you a way to prepare more like a competitive runner instead of a recreational one.
The problem I have found with other training books is that they do a pretty good job of explaining the process and what things you should do and give you a plan, but, they don't explain the theory behind the plan at a detailed level. Sure, they explai..more

This is an awesome read and guide if you are looking to amp your regular training up. I think it would be helpful to runners with a good amount of experience (this is not a beginner's book) who are looking for workout ideas that will help towards a specific race distance. It's definitely geared towards race training, rather than overall running fitness, but isn't overly technical and is applicable at many different levels.

Brad Hudson's pours his intricate knowledge of training athletes and the various training systems into an elegant system that is both easy to apply and flexible.
On a personal level this resonates with me 100% as I too am an addict to training theory, however, Brad has the experience and above all the maturity to not be dogmatic and combine elements from both old and new ideas, while never getting too attached to any one principle.

This is not a book if you just want to run for fun, or need to learn the basics about nutrition, or shoes, or running form. It doesn't cover any of that material. There are many other fine books for that.
This book gives you the tools you need to design a training plan to get you running the best races you can (in all distances, 5K to marathon). You don't have to be a seriously competitive runner (let's face it, few of use really are or have the potential to be), but you do have to want to be co..more

I consider myself an experienced runner, but I still can learn at lot! This book gives me new insights and I am now trying out some some of his concepts. This book is not for beginners, I think, but for runners who have a certain level, compete in racea and want to improve but maybe are easily injured (like me). There are stories of elite runners who trained under Hudson and I can appreciate when he says for at least one it didn't work. When he tries to explain why it didn't work out, it shows t..more

woah, hardcore serious book for srs people. You could design your own programme with all the good information in here about speed and endurance and physiology and metabolism- or you can go to the end of the book and use the prefab programmes for 10k, marathon (and other distances) at various levels. I'm going to do the last 4 weeks of the 10k prep and then the day after the 10k run on the 27th, go straight into the 20 week prep for Canberra- which will be exactly 20 weeks away! How crazy is that..more

Hudson has written a decent book on how to coach yourself to better times for various running distances. The book seems more focused to the competitive runner and not the novice. It has some good theory. The take away for me was to have a plan, but to be prepared to adjust it when necessary. There was also a lot of information on hill sprints and the benefits they can provide. Overall it was an interesting book.
Apr 16, 2011Linsey rated it liked it
I agree with some of the other reviews that this is a good book but its geared for elite runners and not the runners like me who are happy to finish a marathon. I am looking for tips on improving my overall marathon pace and I did get some new insight fom this book that I appreciated. However, I am lucky to finish a race in 5:30, and this book is mainly talking about 3 hour marathoners.
I liked the training charts and I appreciated Hudsons' views on hill repeats and speed training.

Not really a book for beginning runners, but for people who have some idea what their 3K, 5K, 10K, Half-Marathon and Marathon pace is. I am not one of those people, but I like his message about not being a slave to your training plan. He also discusses how people are built to run many miles, but not super fast, or are super fast, but don't run many miles as well. The book includes many training plans.
