Bob Glover's Competitive Runners Handbook is good, very comprehensive.

I got Daniel's a couple of months ago and have started to use it to devise a training programme. Whehter it is any good or not - too early to say. I like charts and numbers and equations though - and Daniel's certainly has lots of those. Certainly an interesting resource.

Charlie Speddings autobiography was amazing best chapter of all time was the pub one :-)

Yawn - But Born to Run was awesome! Really enjoyed it and although there are some ulterior motives in their with some controversial thinking it is a maginifcent read :D

I found Lore of Running too technical for me. I bought Paula Radcliffe's How To Run at the beginning of the summer and loved it. Lots of schedules for all sorts of distances and experience. Advice on other aspects of running too.

Depends what you're after, but I've used Tom Holland's "The Marathon Method" for both half and full marathon training and it's given me a lot of useful pointers and ideas. I adapted the training plans.

I wouldn't mind betting Lore of Running is the best running book that nobody has actually read.
