A few years ago when I browsed the "Running" shelves at a bookstore, I picked up a book (IIRC a paperback) which may or may not have been titled something like "50 or 100 Best of Favorite Runs or Running Workouts". These ranged from Zatopek's 100s to workouts special to more recent tempo runs. IIRC one session was described on each double page with a personal comment by US runners or coaches at elite, college or masters level.
A small amount of inept googling turned up no clue to follow and an inquiry at the store was equally fruitless. Can anyone help a man in search of the perfect Christmas gift?:-)

Almost certainly! Do you own it or are you simply so much better at googling than I am?
BTW it won't be for me, I was asking on behalf of the wife of a self-coached sub-2:50 marathoner. My first tips were Daniels, Pfitzinger, Noakes and Janssen, but he's got those and apparently he doesn't need any more gear that he doesn't prefer buying himself.

yeah, I think Marko's right. Running tough, Sandrock. Excellent source of inspiration.

i read it, it's quite interesting as he proposes all kinds of 'favorites' workouts from famous and not-so-famous (at least to me) runners classified in chapters like 'endurance runs', 'track', 'LT' and so on.
