The Cool Impossible: The Coach from Born to Run Shows How to Get the Most from Your Miles—and from Yourself
by Christopher McDougall, Eric Orton, Richard O'Brien
I had high expectations for this book--I read Born To Run and loved it, and the author of this book is the coach who trained author Christopher McDougall to run the race he describes in Born To Run. But I was a bit disappointed. The very fact that pace charts in the book don't offer anything for anyone who runs slower than a 10-minute mile made me feel totally excluded and like the exercises and information would not be particularly helpful. I also thought the suggestion to basically throw out one's stability shoes (regardless of one's feet, physical abilities, style of running, etc) and run barefoot was a bit extreme. I just didn't find this book to be helpful for the average or back-of-the-pack runner.
