This is the hardest training schedule I've ever seen
The book lays out detailed training schedules for each specific time at a certain distance. For example, running a 20:30 5k.The schedules are daunting to say the least.But after whining about it for awhile I finallyjust did it.I found that I could complete the workouts and my times haveimproved.I like the way it specifies time per mile, distance, and type ofworkout for each day.We will see if my legs hold out.

Sequel to the Self Coached Runner
The material has aged as gracefully as a long distance runner! I passed along my copy of the original that is no longer in print and thought I would never see my training schedules again. Good news, they're back withadditional insight for theserious training necessary to compete as wemature. It's like bumping into an old running partner. ... Read more

Product Description
At the age of fifteen, George Mendoza lost all of his central vision and 80 percent of his peripheral vision. After months of research, Mendoza's mother learned bright light could sometimes help those with vision problems similar to his. In 1972, hoping to help her son, she moved them both from New York to Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Mendoza was angry and bitter; he was a teenager who faced limitations he had never imagined. Enrolled in the New Mexico School for the Visually Handicapped, he renewed an earlier passion for running track, but his resentment did not leave him.

Shortly after high school graduation, Mendoza heard of the curative powers of El Santuario de Chimayó in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe. He hitchhiked to the small village, skeptical of a miracle cure. His vision was not restored, but Mendoza underwent a transformation in the Chimayó chapel. He realized he was not handicapped; he was a person with a handicap. "I’ve got bad eyes, sure, but there's nothing wrong with my heart or my lungs or my legs." He concluded he was meant to be an inspiration to others "with a handicap."

Thus began a new chapter in George Mendoza's life. He joined the track team at New Mexico State University, entered marathons, and, in 1980, ran in the International Olympiad for the Physically Handicapped in the Netherlands.

Today, Mendoza has perfected another hidden talent: he is an exceptional artist and his one-man shows are continual reminders that having a handicap does not diminish the individual's abilities in other areas. This biography of the man who refuses to "be handicapped" will be an inspiration to all who read it.

"Running Toward the Light is the true story of George's long journey back from darkness into the light. I find the book tremendously important--not only for its dramatic impact, but for the indefatigable courage of the man who is its subject. So many of us are tempted to crumble under what we perceive to be unbearable burdens. It's an inspiration and a challenge to read about one who has triumphed over that, and so much more."--Jane Seymour, television and screen actress ... Read more

The Story of a TalentedProfessor and the Athletes He Coached

Homer Bast was a small-college history professor who loved the sports of cross country and track. At Roanoke College, he resurrected both sports, producing in a short period the most outstanding teams in Virginia small-college history. “The Bast Boys” were usually not the best of high school athletes, but under Homer’s direction and encouragement became members of teams that were the pride of the College and the envy of opponents. His boys often were undefeated in dual and triangular meets, and won conference titles almost every year he coached. Read about this remarkable individual and the men who, 50 years later, still call him “Coach.” ... Read more

Excellent for the beginner
I read several books when starting Nordic skiing this winter, and this one was by far the most useful. It describes all the basic manuevers and gives several exercises for each. The best feature is that it lists the common errors in each technique and how to correct them. I learned that in the diagonal stride, my slipping was caused by waiting too long to push off; the solution is to push off when the feet are side by side. My problems with the herringbone were solved with two tips: watch the top of the hill, think of stepping up the hill rather than side-to-side.

For the casual skier
The primer is more aptly named 'introduction to the sport of nordicskiing' because it focuses on the need of those starting out.Thetechnical content is not nearly rigorous enough for a sport or racer classof skier.

Traditional
The Cross-Country Primer targets the beginner or less athletic skier. Nicelayout and simple explainations reasonably priced. Avid or strong skiersmight want to keep looking.

even an old dog can learn new tricks!

Honest, engaging, inspirational, real.
One of the reasons why I bought this book was because everything I was reading about ultrarunning was from the US. Lisa Tamati is a New Zealander and I'm and Aussie, and it's easier to identify with her because of the close relationship our countries, and cultures, have. Irrespective of this connection, I wasn't disappointed in this book.

Lisa's story is honest, engaging, inspirational. I found it hard to put the book down, voraciously wanting to learn whatever I could about what led her to ultrarunning, what traits and experiences and values and opportunities came together to produce the accomplished endurance athlete that she is. Even better, she does this without the false modesty that distractingly comes across in other ultrarunners' stories.

This has been one of the most influential books inspiring my own dreams about becoming an ultrarunner.

One of the worst books I've ever read!
There are few books in my life that I could not finish, but this will be one of them... it has to be one of the worst books I hve ever read. Besides the fct that is is terribly written, there is no inspiration to be gleaned from a situation were one is constantly just gutting it out because they feel indequate or weak. ANYONE can push themselves to an extreme point with this level of insecurity. Along with the insecruity you are fed one crappy experience after another, a crappy bike,crappy boyfriend, a bike crash, a broken back, rotten weather, a torn tent, bad trips to Hungry, bad food a restuarnt fire, lung cncer then death in the family.... the book is one big clamity after another... I keep waiting for her to get fed up , get some real gumption and LEAVE make potivie changes SOMETHING, but it didn't hppend before I just couldn't read anymore.... purchse and read at the risk of being flant out DEPRESSED.

Inspirational & Informative
Lisa's story is a fascinating read - not just for runners, but anyone who sets personal goals that stretches their imagination. As a runner myself, I enjoyed the insights Lisa shares of the extreme footraces she has raced in around the world and the various hurdles overcome to complete them. Great stuff! ... Read more

SF Running
It would have been useful to know there are a limited number of runs actually in San Francisco listed in this guide.While all the running trails listed are in the Bay Area, many of them are in the East Bay and South Bay, so the title is misleading.Otherwise, the maps and trail descriptions are good and the book is very useful.

This book re-states the obvious...
If you're looking for some insightful running suggestions in SF, avoid this book.[In my opinion anyone] could have written this book from 3,000 miles away by reading tourist brochures and looking at maps.The suggested routes are obvious, uninspired suggestions that anybody who is moderately interested in running in or around SF ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT.A huge portion of the book is taken up by content on races... I presume this was done to give it some bulk.

This book did absolutely nothing for my SF running intelligence. ... Read more

Dated, but still relevant
I've run a lot of years. Not fast (e.g., never had any hope of qualifying for Boston), but steady (e.g., I've run every Bridge to Bridge Run in San Francisco since its inception over 33 years ago). Changes in life circumstances, aging...forces beyond our control have a gradual but profound effect on our running. Published in 1998, some aspects of Benyo's book are a bit dated, most evident in the photos and in some of the biographical sketches. However, overall, the information and advice in the book are still valuable, and they have helped me to re-evaluate how I approach this avocation that has for so long been a part of my life. Who knows, maybe there's still a marathon left in me after all.

A great book
This book explained complex concepts about running in a very easy to understand way.When talking about hydration, soft-drinks, caffeine ingestion, it explained pros and cons in a very lucid way.Best feature of the book is the anecdotal stories of many inspiring 50+ runners.It's a great read and hard to put down. I am a fitness runner, not a competitive runner but this book talking about old competitive runners doesn't bother me at all.Even though I wasn't good at distance running when I was young I admired those who excelled.Understanding the mindset of elite master runners helps me plan my running career after 50.Some day I will race even though it's not my current goal.

OK part of a series.
As an over50 multi-marathoner I found this text lacking in some areas. It seemed to address a target market but missed because it assumed that all runners are speed motivated and were fast runners in early years. Most of today's distance runners are neither.

For Seasoned Runners Only
This book is not helpful for people taking up the sport of running for the first time in their 50's.It's aimed at lifelong runners who need to reassess their approach.It doesn't fit will with other books in this series, such as Strength Training Past 50, which is perfect for beginners. ...

Whether you're an armchair traveler, a serious hamburger connoisseur, or a curious adventurer up for a road trip, Hamburger America will be your guide to reclaiming this precious slice of Americana.

No other food says "America" like the hamburger, and documentary filmmaker George Motz has made it his personal mission to save our nation's unique burger identity. He has traveled across the country in search of the best burger joints - those that have survived outside the fast-food mainstream - and has documented their rich histories and one-of-a-kind taste experiences.

This edition of the book includes George Motz's 1 hour documentary "Hamburger America" that profiles 8 burger joints across the USA. ... Read more

A travelogue of burger discovery
By way of anchoring this relatively unknown entity: if you like Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, then you will love this. Hamburger America started as a documentary by filmmaker George Motz in 2005. After favorable reviews and a James Beard Award nomination, he expanded on his mission (and likely his waistline!) and thus was born the book. The version sold here on Amazon includes the DVD, although the latter profiles only eight of the hundred eateries.

To be brutally honest, and with no disrespect, I am not sure all the burgers in the book (or the film) *are* the best tasting burgers you are going to find across the country. George included entries not only for the flavor of the food (not unimportant, of course) but also because of the character, history, and even photographic quality of the restaurant itself. Some are probably here because they are just so unique (think peanut butter burger).

So does Hamburger America contain every great burger in the country? Of course not. Are all the burgers in the book tastier than your local hometown special? Not necessarily. Are they all exponentially better (not to mention healthier) than McDonald's, Burger King, and the rest of the fast food alternatives now dotting the landscape? Most definitely. Will Hamburger America enrich your soul, even as it weighs down your gut? Again, yes. This book provides a slice of Americana to go along with that all-beef patty.

The book itself is almost coffee table quality, full of colorful photos that tell us about the wonderful people and places we would encounter on our journey. Many family eateries are disappearing, and this book provides a Route 66 road map of sorts to catalog for future generations. As Charles Kuralt once said, "You can find your way across this country using burger joints the way a navigator uses stars." I live in a part of the country not well represented in the book (odd, one would think, given the importance of cattle here), so I am starting at a disadvantage. Still, two down (Bud's in Colorado & Stella's in Nebraska), ninety-eight to go!

OK but lacks one thing
The book is clearly a labour of love, and it will charm any burger lover. But I had hoped for more recipes than the handful which were included.

Three reviews in one - Kindle, paperback and DVD versions
I bought the paperback version of this book several months ago and it included the DVD documentary movie version. Later I purchased the Kindle copy as well (I will explain why later in this review). I will break down my review into three sections, one covering each item.

PAPERBACK VERSION: Although the documentary was produced first it is the book that first attracted me to George Motz's work. The success of his movie inspired him to write a book featuring 100 great hamburger restaurants. It's important to note that he is not claiming that this is the 100 best, only 100 AMONG the best. Motz's research seemed to be pretty thorough, but the cost of traveling to all of the cities that are home to great burger joints would clearly be too expensive to make this book profitable. Choices had to be made and many key cities were not visited at all. For instance, in Missouri he visits Kansas City but ignores it's big brother, St. Louis (home of Karl's Drive-in, certainly as good and unique as many that are included). Austin Texas is also featured but the much larger city of San Antonio (only 70 miles southwest) is excluded. It would be easy for anyone living in a city not listed to feel slighted but I understand that would have been impossible for him to travel to every city that is said to be home to a great hamburger joint.

That being said, let's talk about the ones included. It's almost impossible to classify something as iconic as the hamburger restaurant but I will try. I would divide the restaurants into three groups:

* Classic: These are restaurants that have almost as much historical significance as culinary. They are places that serve a standard molded or flattened patty with the usual toppings but the building or the restaurant's history is significant enough to make it a local legend. Chicago's Billy Goat Tavern and New Hampshire's Gilley's are good examples.

* Gourmet: These are the best examples of what a burger can be. It can be the quality of the meat (such as Kobe or other exotics), spices, seasonings, method of cooking or truly unique (and expensive) toppings.

* Unique:Unusual burgers can be created by either using an unique cooking method (steaming, deep frying, using loose meat, enclosing the cheese into the meat or vertical flame broiling) or by applying distinctive toppings (such as a huge dollop of butter, adding peanut butter, using a "secret sauce", adding pastrami, etc.).

It is true that a hamburger restaurant can embody two or even all three of these attributes (I would say that Santa Fe's Bobcat Bite comes pretty close) but most are famous for one thing or another.

I must mention that although Mr. Motz is very thorough in giving pertinent information I am sometimes surprised by his omissions when profiling a restaurant.In both the book and the movie he doesn't explain the significance of the Billy Goat's Tavern strategic location in-between Chicago's two major newspapers (which is why it has newspaper articles all over the wall), and although he mentions San Antonio New Mexico's Owl Bar and Cafe's role in feeding atomic researchers during WWII he forgets to mention that it's current fame is largely due to being the closest restaurant to the famous Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge which attracts multitudes of birdwatchers every year (the town only has a population of a couple of thousand).

The photography in the print edition (mostly by Motz himself) is very good (4 stars).The photographs of the burgers are not so slick that it looks like a food stylist made it into something that you would never recognize when you see it in person but they are appealing (although they could have been better lit).I would have liked more photos of the people but still, the quality and quantity of the photographs are quite good.

DVD DOCUMENTARY:This is George Motz at his most charming.Others (such and the Travel Channel and the Food Network) have given coverage to many of these restaurants but none with Motz's reverence for both the food and the people that produce it.His profiles of the owners and cooks show a true love and devotion for those that serve us well.Eight restaurants are profiled and they have, for the most part, been well chosen (I didn't think Sedalia Missouri's Wheel Inn Drive Inn is quite in the class of the others).These are unique restaurants with interesting history and great food.My favorites include The Meers Store and Restaurant in Oklahoma and Louis' Lunch in New Haven, CT.

KINDLE EDITION:Having decided to make it my mission to visit as many of these 100 restaurants as possible I wanted to have quick and easy access to the data for each restaurant.Beside the addresses and phone numbers Motz includes some important information that came keep one from looking like a tourist or a fool. Such as: which door to use (or even how to open it); what to say when ordering in order to sound like a regular; what NOT to say in order to avoid the wrath of the staff; what is the best hamburger or side on the menu; etc.I have downloaded it to my hand-held device and always have it ready.I have a Kindle 2 and the photos look pretty good on it, not great but decent.

There is a smattering of additional information in the book, such as "How to Buy Hamburger Meat", "Notable Burger Chains" and "My Favorite Sides".He also gives some recipes including his self-named "Motz Burger". This is an excellent, entertaining book and I highly recommend it to both the burger fanatic and the frequent traveler.Five Stars!

A celebration of freedon
First, I was struck by the quality of the book itself.Thick quality paper stock, ample photos, font size that doesn't require a magnifying glass to read and a dvd to boot!
Hamburger America is a tour through America highlighting some of the author's favorite burgers and burger joints. But more than that, through the interviews with the myriad shop owners and burger slingers I sense the joy that comes from being a business owner in America.The freedom to choose a menu, the freedom to assemble ingredients, the freedom to set prices and hours.And because these Americans are free to pursue their dreams they prosper while providing a great product that makes many people very happy.
The variety of burgers and toppings is amazing and the author truly shows his love of the subject.I'm planning a summer vacation around many of the restaurants highlighted in Hamburger America.Buy this book and enjoy America.

America's love with the hamburger
George Motz's book, "Hamburger America" is a delight from beginning to end. Accompanied by an hourlong DVD highlighting some of the places the author has visited, Motz sets out to find the one hundred best places to find a hamburger in the country. He succeeds with gusto.

"Hamburger America" is a terrific book on many levels, but trivia is central to its core. Who knew so many Americans of Greek descent got into the hamburger business, for instance? And not all states make the cut. One might imagine not finding a really good hamburger joint in Hawaii, but Rhode Island, Kentucky and Wyoming are not represented either. Yet there are five in my small state of Connecticut that turn up in "Hamburger America", and naturally, there are lot of good ones found in California and Texas.

What does come through in Motz's book is the love of making hamburgers. It's amazing how many people have owned or have been employed by hamburger joints for twenty, thirty or forty years...or more! One finds butter bugers, tall burgers, steamed burgers, deep-fried burgers, huge ones and small ones. One of the best aspects are the mini-interviews with the owners and employees. A certain hamburger proprietor swears off ketchup, while another places ketchup containers at regular intervals on his counter and yet others barely tolerate the condiment, condemning it to "take-out". They often get adamant that their way is the right way and you'll often find customers who back them up to the hilt. By the way, you'll never run across another book that refers to "squishy buns" as much as this one does!

There are side dishes and desserts of course and the accompanying photographs are often tantalizing. Regularly included are looks inside and outside of the "joints" themselves. Motz has an ability to relate the flavor of the region, not just the burgers. I highly recommend "Hamburger America". It's comfort reading about comfort food. ... Read more

Excellent read
A good read about some of the great runners of the world and insight into how they became leaders in the field.

Thoroughly enjoyable tome for running fans!
I'm a recreational marathoner (7 and counting) but take my running very seriously, regardless.I bought a used, marked up copy of this on amazon and was happily surprised at how much enjoyment and useful information I have gotten from it.

So many profiles of great runners...all presented (no surprise, since it's from RUNNERS WORLD magazine) in abbreviated, interesting biographies that highlight their personal and professional accomplishments on and off the race track.Lots of pearls of wisdom, sage advice and things to think about for runners of all levels, regardless of skill or dedication.

There's something for every runner in this thick, wonderful book which I find myself picking up again and again...especially the night before a race or long run!

Good biographies
While it is a little thin on training details, this book does give you some insight into the mindset of these great athletes.As a 40+ runner who idolized some of these greats I was entertained.

Depends on what you are looking for...
I would agree with the other reviewers that this is by no means a training manual (ala Daniels or Coe).However, that doesn't change the fact that it is a very enjoyable book to read, covering legends of the past as well as more recent champions.If you are interested in marathoning, this book is particularly good, as most of the runners covered are marathoners.

Whilst the training plans will be of little use, I find this book a great motivator, and that's what every runner needs!

Where's the beef?
I must agree with the first reviewer, I too purchased this book with much anticipation and was sorely disappointed with it's lack of hard training fact.There is decent info from a few athletes but much of the training info of the more secretive elites are nothing but short biographies and anecdotal evidence akin to the dry packaged responses you get in most running mags. ...

Okay Book, Totally Misleading Title
I was really disappointed upon receiving this book, because it just does not deliver what the title promises, e.g. "definitive programs for runners of all ages and levels". And that promise is the only reason Ibought it: like so many intermediate runners, I don't have a personaltrainer and have lots of questions about my training routine. In thebeginning, you just run; but after a year or so, you start wondering: am Itraining enough, what's the best combination of workouts (slow/fast;long/short etc.)in a given week, what types of workouts that make sense arethere... So you can imagine how happy I was when I discovered a book withthis title. But there is NOTHING in here to answer that type of question.It's a well-written how-to book, mainly for beginners with lots of injurytips and motivational stuff - but hey, that's in EVERY running book. So Iguess it's okay - if you don't have the wrong expectations.

Excellent book.Especially the pages for masters runners.
Since, like the author,I am a runner over the age of 50, I felt this book really provided valuable information on training.I especially liked the discussion on weight training.Bill encourages a moderate approach tolifting, which I agree is better than the more intensive weight trainingthat seems to be the norm these days.I highly recommend this book torunners of all levels. ...

Around the World races
This is a great book. It gives a diverse look at many races around the world. I realy enjoyed it. My only gripe (and why it didn't get 5 stars) is that it could have been bigger and more inclusive of more races. OVERALL I still feel the book it well worth the time and money of anyone with an intrest in Ultra Running.

extreme good
This is a great book to get motivated, if you have never run an ultra. The book is full of great pictures, where you can feel the whole environment of different races on amazing routes of different continents. I was always reading books about ultra and extra running, but this book showed me the real "living" face of the races, and let me think "why not?". It is a good motivation to see and "meet" the people in this book who have complete all this routes. At the same time it is a good resource for the scedules of races on different points of the world.
The page design, the photos and the print quality is very satisfying.
A warning for the readers who is looking for technical data and training tips; please not this is not a "trainer" book, but it is a "must have" item, since the psychological stamina is needed as much as the physical stamina for ultr running. And this is what this book can provide you. Ther will be always a "better" but this one is the best from my opinion now.

Great for all athletes, not just runners
If you are a runner, adventure racer, ultrarunner, or interested in extreme events, Extreme Running is for you. I love this book. Extreme Running features sections on races on the seven continents. Twenty-four events are profiled in the chapters. Each event is shown with plenty of photos, race information, distance, time of year, field size, ascent and decent data, contact and Web information, and maps or an altitude profile. As you read the chapters, you get a feel for the event and its difficulty. The Marathon des Sables is featured in 16 pages, Badwater in 10, while others are covered in several pages. The photos are fantastic - making you feel in the race. While not inclusive of all extreme events on the seven continents, the book does a great job of showing you popular events and enough information to help you decide if you could do any one of them. This is a book that some might call a "coffee table" book - it is that beautiful. It appeals to me because I love the draw and challenge of these extreme events. As the author of Fixing Your Feet, I patch the feet of these athletes, and have been to several of them and can attest to the descriptions as accurate. ... Read more

Running across a Continent
As a long-distance runner for the past 19 years I can relate to this book. Although I would never run that long, especially on a hard surface.
I have been the official photojouirnalist for a similar run across Europe.

I think there are several criterias that are a must before even considering such an event for any one to participate in.
Time, money, support of family and friends, determination mental toughness and a certain level of fitness.

The book gives a fair account of what it takes to engage in sucdh an outrageous event but there are always people who accept such challenges.

I will have a book written by 2100 after I will accompany Jesper Olsen - the Danish runner who became the 1st human to run around the world in over 2 years, finishing in October 2005. I will be there not to run but as crew, driver and photographer) for a North - South world run.
