About this listen

Learn how to run faster, unlock your potential, and reach peak performance with training advice from a former Olympic trials marathoner and coach to Olympians like Dathan Ritzenhein.

Hudson is the most innovative running coach to come along in a generation. Until now, only a handful of elite athletes have been able to benefit from his methods. Now Run Faster from the 5K to the Marathon shows all runners how to coach themselves as confidently and effectively as Brad coaches his world-class athletes. Becoming your own best coach is the ticket to running faster at any distance.

First you will learn to assess your abilities. Then you’ll learn how to devise a training program specifically geared to you. Filled with easy-to-follow sample training programs for distances ranging from the 5K to the marathon and abilities ranging from novice to advanced, Run Faster is the cutting-edge guide for optimal performance.

With Hudson’s guidance, you can train smarter and more effectively—and avoid injury. And you’ll soon be running faster than you ever thought possible!

This audiobook contains a supplemental PDF.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The book itself seems fine.

BUT

There are tables referenced in the text that are not actually given in the audio book and (fair enough) but not given in the pdf (absolutely not OK).

Copies of the training plans at the end of the book ARE included in the pdf

BUT

the content is very poor. It looks like they got somebody to literally scan a book by hand. And for some reason chose the lowest resolution possible. It's not even straight.

To my mind if parts of the text are going to be left out then that should be clearly marked so the buyer is aware.

The narration is certainly good - but that doesn't make up for the lazy production of the audio book.

I returned it and got my credit back.

Incomplete with poor quality pdf

Not fit for purpose. A lot of the workouts and tables are not included in the accompanying PDF. They aren’t read by the voice actor either. I can’t return either because I listened for too long. 🤷

Missing lots of information in the PDF

Good book and easy to listen to but there are so many tables etc mentioned that aren’t included in the accompanying PDF so it’s not really suitable as an audiobook.

Lack of accompanying PDF information
