Glad to know you're open-minded. A lot of people are stubborn and stuck in their ways on here. Sorry if I came across as mean but I just hate when people seem to pick a known name and follow that person. Beck's methods are smart, different and have worked for me. He's an accomplished, intelligent guy that doesn't just follow the crowd. I know first hand that Hudson has taken athletes (male and female) with histories of big, unusual improvements in time from other coaches and just kept them level and declined their performance. His big thing is hill repeats for everybody. He also lacks focus on speed work. Very close-minded.
No worries. Im open to all different methods of training, and believe strongly that one needs to find the method that works best for them. Myselfd, I tend to combine a lot of Daniels and Hudson's ideas to create my own schedule. Reading different ideas and incoporating them into my training through a trial and error approach is what keeps things fresh and interesting. I also believe variation is a big key to improvement, and sometimes find myself falling into the same routine week after week. Anyways, ya Ill check out tjhat book you suggested, thanks
