Loved this exploration of coach Bob Larsen's training methods. So well written, it reads like a novel. My only quibble (and it's a minor one) is the author's own story interspersed throughout the book. Fortunately, those sections are short and don't distract much from the rest of the book, which is really interesting.

This book was all over the map for me. I immensely enjoyed the sections on the Toads and their young runners. Had the book been just about them and coach Bob Larson, it would have been a five star read. But the sections where the author inserted himself were not adding to the story. It’s still okay for running enthusiasts but unless the reader is invested heavily in the sport, this isn’t one that he or she would enjoy.
