Race competitively with programs for 800 meters, 1500 meters to 3000
meters, cross country races, 5K to 15K, and half-marathon up to the
marathon. Each program incorporates the right mix of the five training
intensities to help you build endurance, strength, and speed, and

perfect solution for short training seasons. Get the results you’re
seeking every time you lace up your shoes for a training run or race

About the Author
Jack Daniels
became the head track and cross country coach for both men and women at
the State University of New York at Cortland in 1986. Under his
guidance, Cortland runners have won eight NCAA Division III national
championships, 30 individual national titles, and more than 130
All-America awards. Called the World’s Best Coach by Runner’s World
magazine and designated Master Coach by USA Track & Field, Daniels
has advised some of America’s finest runners, including Jim Ryun,
Alberto Salazar, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Ken Martin, Jerry Lawson, and
Olympians Lisa Martin of Australia and Penny Werthner of Canada.
Daniels’ first sport of interest was swimming, in which he competed at
the University of Montana. He got involved in running while serving in
the army in South Korea in 1956, when he began participating in
triathlons involving swimming, pistol shooting, and running. His
success in these events led him to compete in the modern pentathlon in
the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, where he won a silver medal, and the 1960
Rome Olympics, where he won a bronze in team competition.
In the years between Olympics, Daniels studied exercise science at the
Royal Gymnastics Central Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, under Per-Olof
Åstrand, one of the world’s best sport scientists. Daniels went on to
earn a doctoral degree in exercise physiology at the University of
Wisconsin.
In addition to serving as a consultant to the U.S. Olympic track team
and Sports Canada, Daniels was named NCAA Division III Women’s Cross
Country Coach of the (20th) Century and three-time Coach of the Year.
Daniels lives in Cortland, New York.
