Run with the Best
The Book
Written by Tony Benson & Irv Ray the book was first published by Track & Field News USA in 1998 and was an instant success. Comments to the effect that this was the best coaching book "I have ever read" were common and led T&F News to request a second edition - which was published in 2001. . Following the decision by the publishers not to proceed with a re-print of the second edition the demand for the book has skyrocketed and copies have been sold on the internet for amounts in excess of $150. . . .
