My mate google eventually pointed me in the right direction after a few false starts.

A number of forum members reported to purchasing the book over a year ago, I would be very interested in hearing some feedback.

And , no I am not trying to knock Chris's ideas, indeed I have just pressed the 'purchase now' now button.
Thanks for that Trog. I called my book by its name not because you have to be a genius to understand it but because you do have to be prepared to think through the ideas and apply them to yourself. That won't be easy for some because many of the ideas require a basic grasp of physics. Unfortunately, unlike most training books, I couldn't leave these physical principles out, to do so would be to contradict its purpose.

The book covers all the key ideas in training and explains why you should train in a certain way, what you should be trying to achieve; it differentiates the various methods. I was told by one person who has read it that it was a weight training book for runners. That made me smile because being a runner that person would see it that way. Actually though it is a book for all athletes in any sport who want to train for either speed, strength or endurance or a combination of all three. Yes, in some chapters I write from a running angle but actually the principles are universal and can be applied to any sport, hence its title.

Anyway I hope you enjoy it and the difference in style over conventional training books.
