Awhile ago Tom Coyne sent this book recommendation , and I forgot to post it. Sorry Tom.
Gentlemen:
I'm going to tout a book (Available from Amazon) that I'm just starting to read.
It is How to Race the Mile by Jeff Hollobaugh.
Jeff is one of the most knowledgeable persons on the subject of Track and Field I have ever known. The books contains insights on running and tactics by many well known, old and new, mile champions. I believe that Paul O'Shea of the Cross Country Journal plans to do a review of it but I think you would be well served to get your copy and see if you don't share my opinion.
Take care,
Tom
If anyone has read it and cares to send a review , we'll put it on the blog.
Beginning our 14th year and 1,200+ postings. A blog for athletes and fans of 20th century Track and Field culled from articles in sports journals of the day, original articles, book reviews, and commentaries from readers who lived and ran and coached in that era. We're equivalent to an Amer. Legion post of Track and Field but without cheap beer. You may contact us directly at irathermediate@gmail.com or write a comment below. George Brose, Courtenay, BC ed.
