Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Reading this book is much like sitting at the feed of an old, wise coach. You'll find many of the "tricks of the trade" here as well as many excellent photos of racewalkers using good technique in races.
Some of the topics touched upon include: shoes (and how to modify them), various training techniques, judging, and how to race. There are also some informative line diagrams of walkers.
This book is NOT a literary masterpiece; the style is conversational and somewhat inefficient (sounds better when read out loud than it reads). But the density of ideas per page is hard to beat!

Ron Laird, one of the most decorated race walkers in history, provides a guide to mastering this highly efficient, low-impact exercise. In fact, a strong race walker can outpace an average runner, and do so with much less stress on the legs and knees. Clear text and easy-to-read, step-by-step illustrations and photos show every nuance of the hip, leg, arm, foot, and torso movements that must be co-ordinated to achieve correct form.
