“Dr. Jason Karp’s 101 Winning Racing Strategies 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.” —Joe I. Vigil, PhD, 1988 & 2008 Olympic Distance Coach and Coaching Educator for the International Olympic Committee, International Association of Athletics Federations, and USA Track & Field
