25 Good books for someone coaching beginners to read
Better Training for Distance Runners (David Martin & Peter Coe)
The Lore of Running (Tim Noakes) Published: 1991/92
It's packed with information on just about everything. Noakes is an
exercise physiologist and is very knowledgeable on the human body,
especially muscles and bones. He presents a more scientific approach to his
running book. I recommend this to coaches just because it is so thorough
and more suited for someone that has been running for a while. I believe
this is the biggest running book to date. [comments by Gale Richmond

Training for Young Distance Runners (Larry Greene & Russ Pate)
Although frankly all of these are much more suited for someone coaching
ADVANCED runners; someone coaching beginners would do just as well to
read the three books on the first list. Steve Patt
