Daniels Running Formula
Personal Best, Running to Win, Running & Being. All by George Sheehan. These books are so great that you can almost flip to any page and read something profound and inspirational.
The Complete Guide to Running by Earl Fee (Essential read if you're a masters runner, especially at 200 to 1500m)
The Lore of Running. It was a seminal work in its day. Some parts might be dated now, but it's worth a read.
Training for Young Distance Runners
Total Heart Rate Training by Joel Friel (he has updated the LTHR method online, but the book changed how I trained. I think it's far superior to the traditional zone methods of HR training. If you train by HR Zones, this book and the updates online will make you a faster runner.)
Programmed to Run by Miller (how a short, stocky guy changed his form to run Boston) It changed how I run. I still use some of his cues for good form.
200 Tips Every Runner Should Know. You'll know most of these tips, but the ones you don't know can make a lasting change how you train, rehab, and race. I'm the author so I'm biased.
Brain Training For Runners. Your brain acts like a governor, limiting your performance. Matt Fitzgerald teaches you how to override it. It changed how I train for major races.
Alright old man, I just ordered the one by Fee on your say so.
