But in order to train and compete intelligently—to become better runners yet avoid injuries or academic and social missteps—they need guidance.

Drawing on their experiences as coaches and runners, authors Brad Hudson, Lize Brittin, and Kevin Beckoffer insights into how pre-teens and teens can become faster and stronger athletes. Chapters cover such key topics as choosing the right gear, cross-training, the mental side of running, new technology, how to integrate running into daily life, and proper nutrition. Sample training schedules for beginning, intermediate, and elite runners make this a truly comprehensive resource for runners at all levels.

Using examples of athletes who have excelled both as youngsters and adults and citing wisdom from top running coaches, this book encourages young runners to develop the inner strength and discipline required in a demanding sport.
