Most
runners run races without giving much thought as to how they are going to run
the race. They just pay their entry fee and run, or run with their
teammates, without any intention to their actions, hoping for a good result.
Successful racing takes knowledge, planning, and execution. And a little
courage.

Reviews:
“Dr. Jason Karp’s
101 Winning Racing Strategies for
Runners is
terrific! I say this based on my own competitive racing career over the years
from high school cross country and track to winning a bronze medal at the
World Cross Country Championships and ranked #1 in the world in the marathon
three years. I had good coaches and teammates along the way, but the points
Jason makes in this book should be known by every aspiring runner, no matter
what your final goals are. I like Dr. Karp’s major points—run smart! His
book answers all the key questions a runner might have to improve their
efforts.”
- Bill Rodgers, 4-time Boston Marathon and New York City Marathon Champion and
bronze medalist at World Cross Country Championships
“At last, a book that illustrates and documents, brilliantly, the full
essence of running. Too often athletes and coaches concentrate only on the
physical aspects of training, at the neglect of the tactical aspects of
competing. Dr. Karp
has captured and combined the mind/body aspects of training and competing as
well as I have ever seen explained,
yet so vital to distance running success. I believe every distance runner and
coach should have in their library, a copy of 101 Winning Racing Strategies for Runners.”
- Dr. Joe
Vigil, 1988 & 2008 Olympic Distance Coach and Coaching Educator for the
International Olympic Committee, International Association of Athletics
Federations, and USA Track & Field
“In 101 Winning Racing Strategies for
Runners,
Dr. Jason Karp has produced a most insightful collection of pre-race, during
race, training, and mental strategies. If
you want to run smarter, faster races, my advice: you need to read this book!”

“Dr. Karp’s 101 Winning Racing
Strategies for Runners presents the most practical, comprehensive, and straightforward
advice for achieving racing success for every level of runner, recreational to
professional. This is

of the sport of running.”
