Setting the Pace
Sue E. Jones
- Reading
- Read it alongside a real or imagined running goal: pause at the weekly-plan and race-day sections, and consider which ideas need tailoring to the runner.
- Themes
- Training and race preparation: The guide sets out phases of a training plan, how to organise a running week and a step-by-step race-day scenario. It presents these subjects as practical running guidance, rather than as a story; the stated aim is to help young and beginning runners pursue their goals.
- Worth knowing
- The guide addresses physical training and food choices around running. A parent may want to check that its advice fits the reader's individual needs.
