Full of cool drills and gives excellent explanations of how muscles work while running

This is a must-read text on the biomechanics of running (sprinting really)。 It is extremely advanced, insofar as most exercise science majors and the likes (inexperienced but 。。。educated(?)。。。) will probably not be able to grasp its beauty and implications within the world of sport preparation。 I feel bad for Bosch -- he is a master drowning in a sea of "gurus" and "experts" that deserves far more recognition than he currently receives from his base of followers and students。From a meta point of This is a must-read text on the biomechanics of running (sprinting really)。 It is extremely advanced, insofar as most exercise science majors and the likes (inexperienced but 。。。educated(?)。。。) will probably not be able to grasp its beauty and implications within the world of sport preparation。 I feel bad for Bosch -- he is a master drowning in a sea of "gurus" and "experts" that deserves far more recognition than he currently receives from his base of followers and students。From a meta point of view, this book is so anti-meathead strength coach and at the same time anti-Ex-Sci-poorly-designed-research that it belongs in a category all its own。 It has much more in common with neurophysiology and motor learning literature than it does with mainstream American fitness culture (and academia), and because of this, will probably be ignored or, more likely, not understood whatsoever, by all of the aforementioned groups。 By being almost completely above the heads of the target field, it inevitably misses with most of its target audience。 。。。more

This book gives a detailed account of the physiology of running。 Different drills and exercises are included to help runners develop。 However, it can be hard to follow for people without a background in kinestheology or physical education。
