Thanks for those recommendations. I concur with all of them. A few additional comments. Science of Winning is hard to find. I got min from a swim shop in the UK. Steve Magness’s Science of Running was self-published and is full of typos. He badly needed an editor so be prepared for that. But the info is solid. If you are well-versed in Canova you can see that it is mostly cribbed from Canova. He does a good job but sadly does not give credit to Canova for the inspiration that obviously heavily influenced his thinking. John Davis similarly has done the Reader’s Digest version of Canova. He actually got Canova’s blessing to do it. It does a great job of summarizing Canova, who can get rather rambly, although his rambling always has nuggets i=of great interest. I prefer to go straight to the source with Canova but his writing is mostly scattered through the Let’s Rum Forum. If you can find Canaova’s marathon book let me know where you got it. It is long out of print and I have searched with no luck. Good luck with your studies. Scott
