“There are as many reasons for running as there are days in the year, years in my life. But mostly I run because I am an animal and a child, an artist and a saint. So, too, are you. Find your own play, your own self-renewing compulsion, and you will become the person you are meant to be.”

The “Masters Runner” according to Coach Bob Glover
Posted March 23rd, 2007 at 12:00 PM by Jim Fortner
Section: News & Results, Running & Training, Motivation, Books, Masters
Jim Fortner is a weekly, guest contributor to TFS. Also check out his own personal running and advice site: “Jim2’s Running Page”.
Respected running coach Bob Glover addresses the “Masters Runner” specifically in his books, “The Runner’s Handbook” and “The Competitive Runner’s Handbook”. Both books are very extensive and excellent training guides.
“The Runner’s Handbook” was originally published in 1978 and updated in 1985 and 1996. I have the 1996 edition. It covers mostly fundamental stuff, but over a wide range of running and running-related topics and is mostly oriented to the basic beginning runner and those running primarily for fitness and recreation.
It touches very briefly on training for racing (60 pages) and an introduction to speed training (10 pages). It does include a “Masters Runner” chapter that is mostly oriented to the beginning masters runner, but has a lot of fundamental stuff that applies to masters runners of all levels.
