Jogging
By G. Hinrichsen
This classic book is the best way to initiate you or someone you know to the benefits running, written by the famed USA Olympic Track coach from the University of Oregon, Bill Bowerman. The classical principles of training which are proposed in this treatise, remain fairly constant over time. "Train Don't Strain"! To benefit from training, one is advised to use the hard-easy method recommended by Bowerman in this book. "Jogging" sets out specific schedules and intervals based on current fitness, which remain valid to this day.

Awesome book for true beginners and children - not so much for the average fit
By Michael Killion
First, my background is in biomechanics and exercise physiology. I love collecting and reading thru these older training books before the 1980s and 1990s (before periodization, computer tracking, high tech equipment, kevlar and graphite, aerodynamics, video capture and analysis, etc.). There are usually two universal gems that I find in these older training books. First, most of the coaches actually published their real training programs in the books. Nowadays, the training books are very stale and generic....more written to the average athlete (maybe collegiate level - maybe). But as you read thru the entire book, you can tell there's a lot more information and details that are left out.....these books are never going to let you "behind the curtain" and get a true idea of what the training program is like. Second, most coaches simply added volume and/or intensity (or both at the same time) to find additional ways to stimulate the athlete to get stronger, faster, higher, etc. Yes, we know alot more about the human body today and the importance of periodization, rest, recovery, high-tech computers; but, to read thru some of the historical stuff to see the volume and madness that some of these coaches loaded onto their elite athletes is amazing to read about.
This was (I believe) Bill Bowerman's first book published about general running and jogging. There may be an older print edition with drawings, instead of actual B&W photos, but I think the actual content is identical from the very first book. Alot of what is written is heavily influenced from his six week trip to New Zealand during the winter 1962-63 when he (Bowerman) took a trip with some of his Oregon runners down under to visit, train and race with some of the New Zealand national team. Bowerman had a very good friend and colleagues in Arthur Lydiard (national coach) that he wanted to spend some time with and pick his brain on the methodology and philosophy of running (see pages 146-160 from the book, "Bowerman and the men of Oregon". After the trip, Bowerman came back to the US heavily influenced with the idea of getting the masses to start running (but start off real easy and slow to avoid burnout and injury).
I'm now 42, probably a little "under fit" than I should be and currently trying to lose 10-15 pounds. I could probably maintain a 12 minute mile for 2-3 miles a couple times a week. If this is you (or better), there will be absolutely no workout in this book that will benefit you. Bill has 3 x 10 week workouts: A, B and C - with "C" being the most difficult (I use this loosely). For fun, I started doing workout C and after a week, I had to start flipping thru the book forward to weeks 6-7 to find workouts that I could do (and get a good workout). All of the workouts include running/training days 3x a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) with general walking on the other in-between days. If you wanted, you could probably throw in a LSD (long, slow distance) jog on one of the weekends for 15-30 minutes. Like I said, the workouts in this book are geared for the very, very beginner.
What I did like about the book is that the workouts are so easy that I'm using them for my 5 and 7 years old boys (when they feel like they want to run with dad). For example, week 1 of Workout B is 2x50 meters; then 4x100m; then finish with 2x50m. You run down and then walk back. It's basically a jog-walk interval workout. Based on the workout, Bowerman recommends keeping your speed within a certain pace range....gradually going longer and faster as you progress further into the 10-week program. Like I said before, in the older books, it was basically a combination of adding and manipulating volume (distance) and intensity (speed) to workouts; along with throwing in rest days. For my boys, the "workouts" can be done in front of the house by running and walking up and down the sidewalks or street. Also, the distances are never so long that we can even makeup races at the parks too. One lap around our little neighborhoodl smaller loop is about 640m. The other longer loop is about 1,000m....plenty long enough if the boys want to go for a slightly longer run (without getting too far from home).
I gave it 4-star rating simply because of the value I find with creating workouts for my sons for now. I'll probably keep referencing this book for running workouts all the way thru grade school - if they wish to stick with running. The workouts are easy enough that there could be value with the workouts for lower-body rehab (knee, ankle, hip) patients or athletes; or someone who is 20-30% body fat and needs something very specific and mapped out to start losing weight and exercising. Other than running shoes, about the only thing you need is something to count intervals and a sports watch that has a countdown timer or chronograph (count up)....or your smartphone. You just need something that allows you to know if you're covering the prescribed distances in roughly the prescribed time limit. Also, you'll need something that does an ok job at measuring distance too. I used my cycling computer on my bike to measure various points (or mailboxes or cracks in the asphalt) that were fairly close to 100m, 200m and 300m for my boys. It also makes it fun for them to race their bicycles too.
For those of you that are familiar or downloaded some of the apps via iTunes or Google that are titled, "couch to 5K" or 1 mile or 2 mile running programs that use your smartphone and GPS to take thru workouts 3x a week with various run/walk intervals. This book is basically the 1960s, written, old-school publication of those running apps; but without the smartphone, without the GPS, and without the headphones and music.
