London: Herbert Jenkins1,955. 159p; illus; index Subsequently reprinted with the covertitle 'Running' BL: 7918.aaa.70 A fine, lucidly written work which moves from general athletic principles to consideration of the running events in detail. Each chapter has month-by-month training schedules and there is a good concluding chapter o'Tnhe coach's job'. Extracts from Athletics World (N. D. and A. R. McWhirter) enliven the text. 'Guide, philosopher and friend, counsellor and confessor, a prop at times of mental tension, a coach's job is big enough for any man. Indeed it is more than a jobi,t is a vocationwhich one follows from the same sortof compulsion that drivessome towrite, some to paint, and some to build bridges. And when all the shoutingis over, when the seniorpartner in the firm has broken the record,made thehead-lines and joined the immortals, the junior partner's reward comes fromthe satisfactionof a good job well done. Who could ask formore?" Heavily based on Gerschler's interval-training methods, this book became the definitive middle- distance runninmganual ofits period. 74 Hurdling / J. Le Masurier. 2nd ed.
